CELEBRATE the return of our Lego Star Wars Days. Pre-booking for this very popular event is highly recommended as last year’s events in November saw our most guests ever. The force was most certainly strong with the people of the North West who came in their drones dressed as their favourite Star Wars characters.
Guests will come face to face with Lego Captain Rex and Lego Chewbacca, enjoy Star Wars builds in the Master Model Builder's Workshop and more.
