Lego spectacle for Matakana

If you think Lego is just for children, the show in Matakana will make you think again.

Building with Lego is a big deal for a lot of children, and for many, this becomes a lifelong passion.

Locals will be treated to the results of this obsession on May 29 when some of Auckland’s top Lego masters display some of their models at Matakana School.

Auckland Lego Club ambassador Mark Hackett says the club tries to do a school show each year.

“It’s great for the kids and also for club members,” he says. “Some members have so many models they are kept in storage and the shows are often the only time they get to see them”

Starship Children’s Hospital also comes away smiling as the club donates Lego to them from the funds they raise, with the school also receiving some of the proceeds. The club was also at Matakana school a couple of years ago, before Covid.

Mark say club members come from all walks of life and many use Lego building for stress relief from a busy job.

Doors will be open from 9am to 5pm. Entry $6, under three years old free.
