This amazing LEGO brick safari is coming to Cardiff Bay

The Great Brick Safari is coming to Mermaid Quay, with sculptures of a number of different animals on show to the public.
From Saturday 10 to Sunday 25 February 2018, mermaid quay – in the heart of Cardiff bay – will be home to 12 amazing models of wild animals. The great brick safari display animals will range from a mighty African elephant which stands a massive 2.5 metres high to a 3+ metre long crocodile – all made out of Lego Brick.

The 12 models, which took a total of 4,024 hours to build and comprise more than 600,000 bricks, will be located in Tacoma Square, in the middle of Mermaid Quay, overlooking the waterfront. This display will be free to view.
