Fantastic day, plenty to see and everyone manning the stalls was friendly, helpful and patient. Far too easy to let your money go though!

Pros: Some interesting MOCs. Free parking.

Cons: Extremely overpriced. We paid £35 for a family of 5 to attend, what is essentially (as many others have said) an overpriced marketplace, where we saw everything that was there in less than half an hour. Vendors had retired sets for sale at substantially more than they go for online, some 4x the retail price - others £150 more than they were advertised for ON THE NATIONAL BRICK EVENTS Facebook page just earlier this week.

Given the amount of advertising we saw for this online, with queues of people streaming in and lots of things to do - it was extremely disappointing, misleading, and we won’t be attending any future events.

I really wish I read the reviews before paying £26 for a family ticket which is basically an entry fee to buy overpriced lego. Virtually all the stands were sales. Good points were there were some quite cool displays and some big builds. There were a few people dressed up in cosplay. There was a good activity area for kids too but it was really busy. If this was a free event or even a smaller fee it would be much more appropriate and I would have been more prepared to purchase something. It was a rip off really for what it was. We spent 30 minutes there and bought nothing. If you are a true lego enthusiast there may be more appeal to paying over the odds for retired lego sets etc. A price check on ebay or amazon would save you on the expense.

The tickets are expensive and non refundable, but there’s very little to do inside. The only worthwhile activity is buying LEGO, which you can actually get much cheaper elsewhere. It was a complete waste of money, and I definitely won’t be coming back. It’s just cheating on your money!

What an absolute rip off. Planned to be at the Swansea event the whole day and were around the whole thing in 45 minutes. Everything massively overpriced and really overcrowded.

We have been to lots of lego wvents with our 10 year old who loves lego and i am sorry to say this was the poorest. I felt as though we paid to see lots of stall of people selling lego at inflated prices as opposed to lots of displays that we usually see. Very disappointing.

I recently found myself in need of a wheelchair. I’m still getting used to it and, long story short, I’d rather stay in the car than inconvenience people.

However, I cannot overstate how welcoming and accommodating the staff and vendors at Newcastle’s National Brick Event were. The stalls were well spaced out with plenty of room to get around and I didn’t once feel like I was in the way or causing people bother.

If all companies planned and executed events like this, I would be more amicable to the idea of attending and it would curb my anxiety massively.

There were so many different vendors and plenty for my four year old to get stuck into. I was worried we’d be in and out in half an hour but, before we knew it’d we’d been there almost 2 hours!

Thank you again, National Brick Events! 💜

There were nowhere near the number of exhibits there was at the last event we attended. We basically paid for the privilege if having a load of stalls trying to sell us stuff. Not worth the entrance fee

Plenty to see, lots of Lego to buy and friendly, warm and welcoming Lego traders. my son and I had a great time !

Went to the Newcastle one in June 26

Pros: More to do for kids this year compared to previous years. The free play tables were really popular.

Some AMAZING displays and really nice chatty exhibitors.

Cons: essentially paid £25+ to access a marketplace where the vast majority of sets are way outside of the affordability of kids savings. The ‘event’ was getting access to buy stuff. Far more busy at the free play tables.

Noticed a few prices change through the day (going up) when some stalls had seen what other people were charging.

Some exhibitors charging a £35 premium for AI slop images in an £5 ikea frame.

It was our first time there and honestly, we expected a bit more of a buzz. Tables with inflated prices for little things like figures for £10 each. It’s Lego. Let’s not let this turn in to Pokemon, guys…
I was told there were characters for kids to meet but there were none in the 2 hours we were there. My son enjoyed the race table most and the large build pieces were good.
We likely won’t reattend future events as my son was a bit underwhelmed.

My grandson loves Lego and was so impressed with everything that was there. Bought a couple of examples as well

I cannot believe I was charged £10:50 each, so group total £42 to enter a poor car boot sale only selling lego.
Not worth the money stay at home.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but unfortunately this event was a very disappointing experience.

The event was advertised as featuring 70+ tables, dressed-up characters and a range of activities. However, the event we attended in Ware felt significantly smaller than expected. We were able to walk around the entire venue in just a few minutes, there appeared to be far fewer vendors than we had anticipated from the advertising, and some of the advertised attractions were not present during our visit.

My group spent £36 on tickets and, despite being keen LEGO fans, we left having purchased only a single polybag. We also found many items to be priced much higher than expected.

What disappointed me most, however, was the response when I contacted the organisers afterwards. I raised my concerns politely and asked whether a refund could be considered. Rather than addressing the specific points I raised about the event itself, the responses focused on the company's no-refunds policy. When I asked further questions about the differences between the advertising and our experience, the conversation was simply closed with a one-line response stating that their position remained unchanged.

I appreciate that not every event will suit every visitor, but I would have expected a more constructive response to genuine customer feedback. Based on my experience, I would not attend another event organised by this company and hopefully I don't have to deal with Kate again.

Terrible events - both for visitors and displayers. NBE are mainly an overpriced reseller who run the events to make more money and have a captive (the venues are small and packed) audience for the severely overpriced lego sets. Most tabels are sellers with very few lego displays.

They are also badly organised, barely any staff and don't treat any lego fan displaying well (i guess one of the reasons they have so few) their one displays are always the same so once you seen one you have seen them all for several years...
Also not accessible or disability friendly

There are other, much better lego shows out there

Went to event at Bracknell sports centre. Overpriced to a ridiculous amount. Paying to get into the event is an absolute rip off as event is 95% retail sellers and lots of the lego on sale is over priced and for double what you can pay online. The organiser has to be accountable for the ridiculous sellers and their asking prices.

Be warned - 95% of this event is retail stands, and just about everything they are selling is overpriced. I price-checked a few things for reference - an older Star Wars set at £1500 which you can easily get online for £750. A new Ninjago set at £80 that we had bought from Argos recently for £50. Everything was labelled "brand new" regardless of the age or the condition of the box.
Very little in the way of family activities, and the custom builds on show were very underwhelming. I've seen far better at free events.
I felt terrible taking my 10-year-old and spending an hour walking around saying No to just about everything he asked for.

We went along to the event at ravenscraig and although my son bought a few Lego sets and enjoyed finding some Minecraft ones he didn't have already I feel the advertising was very misleading it was advertised as a day out for families with Lego displays and activities, and alot more. There was a very small play area crammed full of toddlers, a few tables with Legos to play with but they were all very crowded. There wasn't many Lego displays we didn't feel, compared to a local smaller event in our area that had alot more on display in recent years it was quite disappointing, it was 90% people selling sets which yes I knew there would be but I thought it would have had more displays and things to do/look at, my son still had a great 30 minutes walking round and bought some sets but ultimately we could go to the Lego store and do that, I think the adverting needs edited or there needs to be more to see and do alongside the sellers.

Like many of the other reviews here, this was a very disappointing event.

The marketing was clearly misleading. It was advertised as a fun, interactive day out for families, with activities, play areas, and LEGO displays. In reality, it was almost entirely sellers (around 95%), with barely anything for children to actually do.

We attended the Brighton event with our two young boys and it was a complete let-down. The only activity area (a small animation setup) was overcrowded to the point of being unusable, so the children left having done essentially nothing.

This felt far more like a marketplace than a family event, and it did not deliver what was advertised.

I have contacted National Bricks directly and expect a response regarding a refund. At present, this was a poor experience and not value for money.

Overpriced to a ridiculous amount. Paying to get into the event and lots of the lego on sale for double what you can pay online. The organiser has to be accountable for the ridiculous sellers and their asking prices.
Inverness event was well organised but the positives end there.
