Edinbrick raises thousands for Fairy Brick charity
The charity Lego based event which took place at Meadowbank Sports Centre last month raised £20,763 for the charity, Fairy Bricks.
Edinbrick, Scotland's Biggest LEGO Display show raised a new fundraising record of £20763 for their charity partner of Fairy Bricks in 2025. Run on an all volunteer basis for charity Edinbrick's team of organisers, volunteers and displayers were supported by their biggest attendance in their new bigger venue at Meadowbank.
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 – the 8m long Forth Bridge Model.
Lead organiser Doug Adamson gave thanks to everyone who came to the show. 'The 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 – and thanks to the efforts of everyone involved behind the scenes, our charity partner, our volunteers and displayers
we've got a lot to live up to for next year.
'Our new venue of Meadowbank Sports Centre couldn't 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.'
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 £6.50 for ages 5 and up.
Tickets for 2026 are available at www.ticketsource.co.uk/edinbrick

Europe's first Lego-themed waterpark reopens for summer and you can fly there for £17
One Sun Writer described their visit as being "one of the best family breaks" SPLASH ABOUT Europe's first Lego-themed waterpark reopens for summer and you can fly there for £17 THE first LEGO-themed waterpark in Europe has officially re-opened for the summer season. Gardaland itself is one of the most popular theme parks in Europe, with the only themed aquarium in Italy and a Peppa Pig land. 5 Gardaland in Italy has re-opened its water park 5 There are huge Lego figures around the park And in 2019, Gardaland opened the first, and only, LEGOLAND-themed water park in the world. The waterpark has been closed through the winter months, but from May 31, 2025, has started to welcome visitors back to the pools and flumes. It's a great place to cool down during the summer months, especially for any fans of Lego. The water park has taken a lot from the parks, including its own Italian Miniland. The recognisable Miniland is the heart of every Legoland Park where visitors can see the most iconic landmarks from across the world. Gardaland water park also has its own lazy river called the River Adventure, a slow-moving river. Visitors can bob down the slow-moving water attraction on a dinghy customised with Lego bricks. From there, you can actually see Miniland depicting Italy and spot a Lego-brick built Colosseum, Tower of Pisa, Basilica and Bell Tower of St. Mark's Square. Also in the water park is a Beach Party - with its seven slides and a huge tipping bucket of water. Also in the park is the Pirate Bay swimming pool, as well as a pirate fortress, as well as Jungle Adventure waterslides and Beach Party cannons. Huge indoor-outdoor waterpark in Europe has 12 slides, lazy river and bars 5 Jungle Adventure has lots of waterslides 5 There's a lazy river with Lego-inspired dinghies For younger kids, there's the Duplo splash park, which has smaller water rides and attractions. Creation Island is the spot to go to for any kids who want to make their own Lego designs. Souvenir shops and restaurants will also be opening in the park. The water park is a real hit with visitors, one wrote on Tripadvisor: "The park is phenomenal and the water park is absolutely amazing." One even said it gives "I loved the jumanji ride, and the kids loved legoland water park." Another said that the water park is the perfect place to "cool down" in the summer. With Ryanair, one-way flights from the UK to Valerio Catullo Airport in Verona start at £17. From there, Gardaland is a 25-minute drive towards the coast. One Sun Travel writer lives in the water park capital of the UK - and you can visit five of the country's best for £8. Plus, the tropical indoor UK water park that families say 'feels like a holiday abroad' with 30 attractions. One Sun Travel Writer Had The "Best Family Holiday Maria Realf visited Garaland with her family - and it's safe to say she had an incredible holiday... As the ride began to climb, the two views before me were dramatically different. To my right, the serene turquoise waters of Italy's Lake Garda. On my left? A steep drop and a double loop-the-loop. I'd stumbled across Gardaland in spring while trying to book a last-minute trip to Disneyland Paris. Don't get me wrong, I love a Disney park — but this time, faced with high prices and the possibility of French strike disruption, I decided to take a chance on somewhere new. The result? One of the best family breaks we've ever had. On arrival, the next pleasant surprise was the lack of long queues. Most waits were 10-20 minutes. But while the resort might have been short on queues, it's certainly not short of fun. There's plenty for all ages here, from Fantasy Kingdom and a small Peppa Pig Land for little ones, to adventure attractions including the latest Jumanji ride and white-knuckle thrills galore. My personal picks were epic log flume Fuga da Atlantide and the Mammut coaster, which reminded us of Disney's popular Big Thunder Mountain. During the warm summer months until mid-September, guests can also cool off at Legoland Water Park — a 15,000-square-metre area within Gardaland. Explore the Lego River Adventure with its floating rafts, the Beach Party packed with slides, or the Duplo Splash zone for younger visitors. If all that has worked up your appetite, there are lots of places to eat dotted around, from sit-down restaurants to takeaway kiosks - Maria Realf
