It takes place at the RDS on 14th and 15th April, and the event organisers are calling on schools and families in Louth to get involved.
Commenting Lisa O’Brien from MineVention said: ‘ we’re calling on Louth schoolchildren who have used Minecraft in the classroom to get in touch.
“If there any class groups in Louth that would like to show off their work and meet some of the global stars of Minecraft, we’d love to hear from them! To get in touch, they just need to email enquiries@minevention. co.uk .”
