Brick History takes famous moments from history and imagines them in LEGO® bricks – how many do you recognise? From DNA and the Big Bang to Mozart, Martin Luther King and mobile phones, LEGO® artist Warren Elsmore and his team have created a celebration of our shared stories, struggles, and triumphs, made from everyone’s favourite Danish toy.
From tiny recreations of Concorde and the Titanic that could fit in your hand, to a 1.5m square medieval castle bustling with activity, there are models to make you smile, to make you think, and to inspire you to build a better world.

Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Grimsby
Written by Mike Leigh
Directed by Debbie Shepherd
Opens Saturday 25 April through to Saturday 2 May 2026
Set in the London-side of Essex (theoretical Romford), Beverley Moss invites her new neighbours, Angela and Tony, over for drinks. They moved into the road just two weeks ago. She has also invited her neighbour Sue, a divorcee, whose fifteen-year-old daughter Abigail is also holding a party back at their home. Beverley’s husband Laurence is typically late home from work and the ‘gathering’ starts off in stiff fashion as the virtual strangers tentatively get to know each other. As the ‘hostess with the mostest’ Beverley endeavours to keep the drinks flowing. The alcohol takes effect on the evening. Sniping, flirting, naivety and too much stress is a cocktail for disaster as the play concludes.

Come and (re)discover the joy of reading – bring your own book!
This World Book Night we invite you to experience the sun’s hidden beauty and power, while offering a space for relaxation, quiet reading and reflection.
Bring your own book or pick up one offered for free (including audiobooks) and enjoy the Minster’s beautiful environment at this no stress, full chill event, when the Minster’s cafe will be open.
In a world increasingly dominated by noise, screens, and constant distraction, the simple act of opening a book in a quiet space offers something deeply grounding and powerful for people of all ages and reading abilities.
All are welcome, let’s Go All In together.
As part of the children’s session, local author Katie Hopper will be offering short readings from her books The Lady who Came from the Sun and The Trees Within Us All.
