The addition of the Sports Dome provides more room for exhibitors and visitors, allowing organizers to accommodate a larger selection of displays and interactive experiences.
Visitors will have opportunities to explore intricate models and observe the techniques used by experienced builders to transform individual plastic bricks into detailed structures.
Graeme Dymond, LEGO Certified Professional and Director of Bricks in the Six, said the event aims to demonstrate the creative possibilities of LEGO building while bringing enthusiasts together.

The marketplace will provide opportunities for collectors seeking discontinued products and enthusiasts looking for specialized pieces to complete their projects.
