Its been a very exciting past few weeks at brick.ie. Hot on the heels of a very successful Birr library event in January, we've been working behind the scenes planning our 10th anniversary event 'Brick Féile' on 13 and 14 July at the CityNorth Hotel, only 15 minutes up the M1 from Dublin Airport.
Brick Féile will be very special to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It will be our largest ever event with our biggest layouts all able to fit under one roof. Not only will brick.ie members be bringing their fantastic LEGO models but we'll have many international model builders with their own creations to share with us for the first time in Ireland.

Perhaps best of all we are excited to be bringing the world record breaking FairyBricks LEGO mosaic team over to Ireland also for the first time to allow our visitors sample that fantastic building experience.
Welcome to Brick Féile, Ireland's premier show for Irish LEGO® fans. Organised by brick.ie, the creative team behind Ireland's most spectacular LEGO® models, prepare to be amazed at the most fantastic LEGO® creations ever assembled at an Irish event, and all in support of the charity Fairy Bricks which last year donated and delivered over £40,000 of LEGO® sets to Irish hospitals.
As its our 10th anniversary, we've plenty of surprises in store at Brick Féile including for the first time international model builders to share their creative genius with you. All our Irish and international master-builders will be on hand to chat with you and divulge their latest tips and techniques. You may even recognise some.
Of course, we know everyone likes to get their hands on bricks.
As 2018 comes to a close, we can reflect on our busiest year ever with a very successful first event in Blessington Library before Christmas which we hope will become a regular event in our calendar. We were also delighted with the turnout for our annual member's family day held in Naas, a week later. It was great to see so many of our members and their families enjoying themselves at our largest meetup of the year with lots of competitions, building and chat.
There will be no time for LEGO cobwebs. 2019 starts as a hectic 2018 ends with an exhibition already lined up for Saturday 26 January at Birr Library, our first display of the new year. Why not check out what our members have been up to over the Christmas break?
Wishing all our members and visitors every good wish for 2019.
