Urban Nature – Building in LEGO
Create an urban nature garden in LEGO, inspired by Kirkstall Abbey.
All summer we will be inspired by the natural surroundings of the abbey and its amazing wildlife.
Every Wednesday morning in August, come and get creative with LEGO and have a go at designing your own urban nature garden. From giant bird baths to bug hotels, water features to bat houses, anything is possible!
Drop-in.
