An amazing wildlife trail that depicts animals made from LEGO will return to Slimbridge Wetland Centre for the summer, running from Saturday 7 July to Sunday 23 September 2018.

For the 2018 summer season, the popular attraction will play host to 14 LEGO brick sculptures, each around four-feet tall. There are three new additions to the trail this year, including Sam the short-eared owl, Walter the water vole and Skye the stork.

The new animals will join favourites Flavia the flamingo and Lottie the otter, who were featured in previous LEGO trails at Slimbridge.

Each sculpture is built by professional LEGO builders using a total of 253,728 bricks in total. The new short-eared owl took 80 hours to complete.


The trail is included in the price of admission to Slimbridge. There’s even the chance to get involved in building some LEGO creations of your very own, thanks to LEGO Brick workshops, being held at Slimbridge on selected dates between Saturday 7 July and Sunday 23 September 2018.
