Giant Lego mythical creatures including a unicorn will appear in Cardiff Bay for summer 2019

A fire-eating dragon, a wizard and a princess will also be among them

HUGE Lego animals caused a stir when they appeared in Cardiff Bay last year – firstly a group of safari creatures and then giant cats.

Now there will be more sculptures that have been painstakingly made from the word famous bricks on show this summer when the BRICKLIVE Fantasy Kingdom heads to Mermaid Quay.

From Saturday, August 3 to Sunday, September 1 , nine models made with a total of nearly 750,000 LEGO® bricks will take centre stage in Tacoma Square.

Free to view, the display will

feature an 11ft fire-breathing dragon, a unicorn and two hunting wolves as well as a wizard, princess, knight and huntswoman.

Collectively the models took more than 2,000 hours to build. There will also be 10 cute dragon whelps (baby dragons) displayed in the various businesses in Mermaid Quay.

At the heart of the display is a throne – laid out in shimmering silk and encrusted with the finest Lego brick rubies, emeralds and sapphires – on which visitors can sit and take selfies.

This will be the first time BRICKLIVE’s Fantasy Kingdom has been be on display in Wales and follows the success of previous displays at Mermaid Quay, including the Great Brick Safari, Santa’s Sleigh and Big Cats.

Mermaid Quay Centre Manager Justin Patel said: “Our BRICKLIVE displays are always a huge hit and we’re confident that Fantasy Kingdom will be equally as popular.

“Lego fans and visitors to the Bay will be able to let their imaginations run wild at our medieval fantasy land of ancient Welsh myths and legends.”

The display will be visible any time, but the throne will only be available to sit on 10am to 6pm daily.

Visiting the installation is free of charge and visitors can find more information on the Mermaid Quay website www.mermaidquay.co.uk
