Community & Events
Bickers Bricks was built for the Lego community — not just as a place to buy and sell, but as somewhere to connect with other people who share the same passion. Whether you're a lifelong AFOL, a returning builder, or somewhere in between, this is your shop.
Building Nights
Once a month we open the shop after hours for a relaxed, informal building night. No agenda, no pressure — just a space to build, chat, and see what other people are working on. Bring your own project, start something new from our parts stock, or just come and see what's on the table.
Free to attend and open to all ages. Space is limited so we'll be announcing dates in advance — follow us on Instagram or sign up to our mailing list to make sure you don't miss out.
Building nights are a chance to meet the local Lego community in person. Whether you've been building for thirty years or just got back into it, you'll find your people here.

MOC Showcases
We believe the best Lego builds deserve to be seen. We dedicate space in the shop to rotating MOC showcases — displays of original creations from our community, changed regularly to keep things fresh.
If you've built something you're proud of and want to share it with a wider audience, we'd love to hear from you. Builds of all scales and themes are welcome — from microscale city scenes to full UCS replicas.
Get in touch to discuss featuring your MOC in store.

Digital MOC Gallery
Can't make it to Eastbourne? Your builds are still welcome here.
Our digital MOC gallery is an online showcase of original creations from the Bickers Bricks community — builders of all ages, experience levels and themes. Updated regularly, free to submit, and open to anyone.
Each entry includes the builder's name, build title, theme and a short description — a permanent record of your creation for the community to enjoy.
Outstanding submissions may be invited to feature in our in-store physical showcase too.
How to submit:
- Up to four photos of your build
- Build title and theme
- Short description (what it is, what inspired it, how long it took)
- Piece count (optional)
- Your name or builder handle
All submissions are moderated before going live. By submitting you confirm you're happy for your images to be displayed on the Bickers Bricks website.

Stay Informed
We post regularly on our blog — new arrivals, building inspiration, event announcements, theme guides and community features. If you want to know what's just come into the shop, what we're building, or what's happening next, the blog is the place to look.
We also share everything across Instagram and Facebook, and our mailing list gets advance notice of building nights, special events and new stock drops.

Coming in 2027
We're working with a local disability charity to create volunteering and employment opportunities at Bickers Bricks. We believe a good local business should open doors for everyone in its community — more details to follow as this develops.
