We kicked off 2024 with our first LEGO fan event of the year in West Yorkshire – in the town of Mytholmroyd at Calder Valley Brick Show 2024.
The event was in its 5th year (spread over many more thanks to Covid and localised flooding), and held more LEGO model exhibitors than ever before, from LEGO trains to city scenes, Star Wars, Disney, vintage LEGO sets, and even LEGO robotics activities for kids.
