A NEW Lego convention is coming to Bournemouth later this year.

Anticipation is building for the Big Brick Convention at Littledown Sports Centre, with tickets on sale now.

The celebration of all things Lego is taking place on Sunday, October 9, from 10am to 5pm at the Chaseside venue.

A wide range of unique 'brick' displays, including from the Star Wars franchise, will be on show alongside robots, competitions, talks and activities.

The event will also play hose to traders, with items which could not be found on the high street.

The convention is supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital, giving back to a charity that is close to two of the organisers’ hearts.
