Tomorrow (Friday) night adults can leave the children at home for an exclusive opportunity to indulge in brick building activities after hours, which includes a one-off session for adults to enter the Brick Pit.

Make and Take sessions run on selected dates from August 8 until October 27. Children can choose between a Lego Brick train, unicorn or bird, which they can create at the museum and take home.

You could have your own creation displayed in the exhibition in a Britannia Building Competition. Models should represent an iconic moment in Britain’s history.

The Novium will also be introducing relaxed, autism friendly early openings.

“Lego bricks are enjoyed by all ages, from young children to adults, and the events offer something for everyone to enjoy,” said cllr Eileen Lintill, cabinet member for community service at Chichester District Council.

“The exhibition provides a fascinating insight into important moments in British history, which we hope children will be inspired to learn more about. We are really excited about this new exhibition – it’s a must-see for the whole family.”

Running until October 31, admission is free, with donations gratefully accepted.
