Leith LEGO Group for Adults

Whether you're already an avid builder, never picked up a LEGO brick before, or it's just been a while, join us and connect with others in a relaxed and friendly social setting. Our group is growing. We welcome new members each time.

In addition to the creative benefits, building with LEGO can be therapeutic and a great tool to reduce stress and anxiety.

Group cost:

Although registration here on Eventbrite does not require an online payment, there's a small cost of £1 per person to be paid at each session by cash or card. If paying by cash, it would be great if you could bring exactly £1 to save having to make lots of change. We also have a card machine available for card payments.

This group is strictly for adults aged 16 and over.

*** Instead of a February date, we have two in March - one at the beginning, and one at the end ***
