The charity Lego based event which took place at Meadowbank Sports Centre last month raised \u00a320,763 for the charity, Fairy Bricks. <\/p>\n

Edinbrick, Scotland\u2019s Biggest LEGO Display show raised a new fundraising record of \u00a320763 for their charity partner of Fairy Bricks in 2025. Run on an all volunteer basis for charity Edinbrick\u2019s team of organisers, volunteers and displayers were supported by their biggest attendance in their new bigger venue at Meadowbank.<\/p>\n

The 2025 show not only broke records for Fund Raising but also the number of displays and attendance. The move to Meadowbank is considered to be a great success for the team with the extra space allowing for the biggest ever display at Edinbrick \u2013 the 8m long Forth Bridge Model.<\/p>\n

Lead organiser Doug Adamson gave thanks to everyone who came to the show. \u201cThe feedback from ticket holders has been overwhelming
positive. Everyone who was part of the show from the volunteers to the displayers to the visitors contributed to the best Edinbrick Show
ever. Our mission at Edinbrick is to put on a fun , family friendly charity event. Each year we say we want to be bigger and better than the year before \u2013 and thanks to the efforts of everyone involved behind the scenes, our charity partner, our volunteers and displayers
we\u2019ve got a lot to live up to for next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new venue of Meadowbank Sports Centre couldn\u2019t have been more welcoming all the Edinburgh Leisure staff were brilliant to work with. We knew moving to our third venue in as many years was a risk, as it meant more capacity for visitors but we sold out the show weeks in advance once again. Not ones for resting despite being an all volunteer team we are already working on Edinbrick 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following on from the most successful Edinbrick show, the dates for 2026 have already been confirmed for the 9th & 10th of May 2026 at
Meadowbank Sports Centre. A special offer for tickets has been announced for a limited time 2026 tickets will be priced at 2025 prices only \u00a36.50 for ages 5 and up.<\/p>\n
