5 LEGO Building Fun Facts You Didn’t Know!

1. The number of possible Lego combinations is so huge that you could build billions of different models using just a handful of bricks.

2. Lego bricks are designed with precision so clutch power (that satisfying “click”) stays consistent even after thousands of uses.

3. The basic Lego brick hasn’t changed much since 1958, meaning bricks from decades ago still fit perfectly with today’s sets.

4. The tallest Lego tower ever built reached over 100 feet high, proving small bricks can create giant ideas.

5. Every minute, over 36,000 Lego pieces are produced around the world, fueling builders everywhere!

Edit: link to new easier booking system added

Let's try something a bit different.

Tuesday evenings from 19th May onwards we're going to trial a 2hr session based on a 'Men's Shed' concept - where men (18+) can come and take some time for themselves.

Whether you're a family man, or on your own, young, retired, or somewhere in the middle - sometimes you just need a bit of time for yourself and to perhaps connect with other people away from normal life?

We've got you - come and try our Brick & Banter sessions here at The Mindful Hub

Dad's especially, we know how much you just want to do that build yourself with no assistance or input! Come and choose from our range of sets to build and choose from a great selection of drinks and snacks to help you relax and enjoy your build.

Later night coffee not for you - we have an excellent freshly ground per order Brazilian swiss water decaf available, as well as a decent range of Teapigs teas, and ice cold drinks available from our chiller.

A big lego fan (or AFOL)? Got something you'd like to share or show off - we'd love to see it, if you're confident enough to transport it!

Bookings are available online now for next week here - pre booking is recommended, but we will accomodate walk ins if we have space.

New booking system here that’s a bit easier to navigate :
