Brick Fest Live Avis 

Ich kann mich nicht daran erinnern, Eintrittsgeld jemals so schlecht angelegt zu haben. Ein absoluter Witz diese Veranstaltung und das für EUR 76,20! Nach gut 40 Minuten sind wir wieder raus. Wir sind eigentlich aufgrund der guten Bewertungen und den Photos in den USA hingegangen. Davon war aber nichts zu sehen. Der Shop war lächerlich sortiert. Diese Veranstaltung kann man sich schenken!

How embarassing for anyone working at this event. not enough of certain coloured bricks to make mosaics? come on its supposed to be the biggest festival outside of America?? Not enough chairs for people to sit at? false advertising the use of Lego markers when we had to used cheap felt tips? hardly any lego models and which ones there were they were lookig tired. The shop was awful? 3 lego sets to purchase?and keyrings for £15 oh and the lego markers we were supposed to be using to colour in with and what was the excuse? Brexit!!
I spent £60 on the tickets and I wish Id just popped to the lego shop In Birmingham or the Lego Discovery centre in Birmignham it would have been more exciting!..

We had a fun day at the Birmingham event. Prior to visiting I had watched a YouTube review from an earlier show in Leeds - so I knew not to expect loads of models on display. But the models shown were great and pitched perfectly for the kids attending. We arrived at opening time and stayed until near to closing because we lost track of time - we spent the whole day interacting with each of the build spaces available. Some reviews have stated that it was just a room with LEGO dumped on tables but it was so much more than that. Each space was carefully organised with specific bricks to complete the task in that section. Unlike at the Lego discovery center - you could actually find the pieces you wanted rather than having to search through piles of unsorted lego. Staff were actively managing each space - organising and replenishing bricks where needed. We enjoyed the opportunity to relax and play with our 8 year old son. The staff were enthusiastic and went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. We would definitely return and felt the price was perfect for such a full family day out. The shop was very limited but as a parent I preferred this as it didn’t add additional cost to our day out. The key to this event was to arrive prepared to PLAY. Something that many people have lost touch with sadly.

Went to the one in Leeds, was around it in 15 minutes. Pointless. Few sellers (mostly used sets) and a couple of exhibits and a table for filling a brick box (something you can do in a Lego store anyway). Complete waste of time.

Went to Birmingham on 26/05/24 for my son’s 6th birthday. Spent £80 on tickets, we were there an hour and had done everything, the children enjoyed the bouncy castle but otherwise very little to do. Room looked empty, you could build a car to race but no one told us we only had 4 minutes to build in then we were rushed off the table. Staff were pleasant and we’re trying to make it fun but so disappointed and definitely not worth the money.

Wir hätten uns mehr erwartet als viele Haufen und Tische voller Legosteine, an denen man einfach irgendwas bauen kann.
Ein paar große Figuren, die ganz nett zum anschauen sind, aber das war's dann auch schon. Eher für kleinere Kinder im Kindergartenalter noch beeindruckend, ansonsten ist man wirklich sehr schnell durch, da die einzelnen Stationen sehr großzügig und scheinbar wahllos in der überdimensioniert wirkenden Halle verteilt sind. Insgesamt enttäuschend, wenn man Bilder aus den USA gesehen hat, wo das ganze doch etwas attraktiver gestaltet ist.
Wir waren nur froh, dass wir die günstigsten Tickets gekauft haben, alles andere ist nutzlos, da sowieso nichts los ist. Der Shop ist im übrigen genauso extrem überteuert wie der Eintritt selbst.

Attended birmingham event on 27/05/24. It was an extremely dissapointing event. There were no vendors or large scale displays, the shop that was there was a poor excuse and very overpriced. Admission price was also grossly inflated (payed for vip)

The willy wonka fiasco all over again. Shocking
Birmingham UK event was awful. Large room. Tables of lego that's pretty much it. Would have been so angry if I have paid for VIP. Would like our money back it was so so bad.

Not worth the money at all! Arrived at event with husband and 4 grandkids and was disappointed to see mainly just piles of Lego bricks on tables. We could have done that at home for free instead of paying around £85. The kids had to make the most of it and enjoyed helping to make the giant puzzle but apart from that you could do it all at home.

Absolute waste of money. Spent £65 to take the grandkids and was there less than a hour. If this is the largest brick event I would hate to see the smallest, complete rip off, very disappointing 😞

Overpriced, hardly any displays only 1 shop, billed as the biggest UK lego event. Me and my 11yo walked out after 10 mins.
Will never go again or use that company.

It's an empty space with piles of Lego , honestly it's absolutely abysmal, very limited builds som amazing but my god what an absolute waste of money!

The biggest scam I've ever been to. False claims of biggest event in UK complete untrue. Do not waste your money

Not worth the time or money, an empty hall with literally nothing to do. AVOID

Absolute waste of time and money. Travelled 80 miles with my 10 year old son, no traders apart from one stall with no prices (how convenient when they know there'll be a lot of kids wanting to buy stuff and you don't find out the price til you get to the till 🙄), it was basically an empty hall with a few tables filled with Lego to build yourself. 100% not worth the cost. If you're planning on going one of the other days, save yourself the hassle and try and get a refund! And to add insult to injury, the minifig bags which are priced at £12-14 each are from the front of magazines. You couldn't make this up. Now they have also disabled Facebook comments and reviews so they can continue scamming. Disgusting.

Very poor. Just a handful of large built models (and even those weren't all using real Lego bricks!). Nothing that impressive.
Lots of build for young kids, but for adults a compete disappointment. No vendors just a single poor shop with no prices.
No stalls at all selling brick related stuff.
Felt like a cheaply thrown together event with lots of piles of bricks and a couple of inflatables. Took 10-15 mins to see the lot unless you built something.

Biggest rip off event I’ve ever been to. £40 for VIP tickets only to find a largely empty hall with piles of loose bricks scattered around it, and handful of things built by the event and one tiny shop that mostly just sold merch rather than actual LEGO. No traders, no community involvement, MOCs, etc. Challenged the event organiser at the event and he said it’s my fault I didn’t enjoy it as it’s an event for kids and I’m adult. It’s advertised as all ages and as the “biggest brick event in the UK”, when in fact it’s just a disappointing empty hall. Got in around 9.10 on our VIP tickets, left at 9.24. Have asked for a refund. Appalling.

Absolutely awful - if you haven’t pre booked tickets please don’t waste your money like we have. This is by far the worst of any type of show we’ve ever been to and expensive too! We travelled a long way to come to the show and were really excited about it - only to get to a big empty room with hardly any of the things originally advertised and hardly anything there. There were a couple of tables of Lego bricks for kids to build at, a couple of Lego dinosaurs surrounded by non Lego plastic ones, and one small shop that hardly had any actual Lego, I think there was about one set that wasn’t tiny and aimed at young children, and that was damaged, just mainly brick fest t shirts and plushies. No other sellers or stands or independent builds. We walked round the whole thing in less time than it talk us to walk from the car park. We were absolutely gutted and I feel so sorry for all the families that forked out even more than us to walk round an empty hall. It was disappointing for adults but must have been really upsetting for parents and their children looking forward to a day out .

The website early in the week had far more written about what would be shown and the pictures from previous shows appear to show much more exhibits and things going on - but I noticed they’ve now changed some of the wording on the website to reflect the missing exhibitors and stalls. When I purchased the tickets I could select 1pm , 2pm, 3pm or 4pm entry among other more expensive options with closure at 6pm- before we arrived we got a message now saying last entry is 2pm with closure at 4pm. Clearly something’s gone wrong. At £42.95 for two tickets this is total false advertising. Not worth the cost of the car park!

I’ll be sending complaints to ticket master, the new and the event organisers - all I can say is I hope they never get the chance to dupe people out of their money this way again, and not too many more people lose they’re time and money to this organiser and likely conman.

So disappointed. Very much a waste of money. Paid the extra for VIP and for early access to trade stores. However there was only one vendor, selling very little and what little there was extremely overpriced. Walked around in whole thing in 10 mins. Brickish blows this out of the water. Will never go to a brick fest event again.

Absolute waste of time and money. Previous brick events were massive with experts on hand. We walked around this one in 10 minutes. There were a few builds to look at some tiny brick pits for kids to play in and a shop with a few very small sets. Very wrongly advertised. We had travelled over 100 miles and spent £40 each for vip tickets. Another Willy Wonker event I'm afraid.
