Following the success of the LEGO weekend in 2024, we’re returning to Horst this year with even more creativity, action and fun! Bricktopia promises a family day full of colour, engineering and inspiration — with something for every LEGO fan.
On Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 July 2026, the fun will be in full swing at De Mèrthal Events Centre. Don’t have any plans yet for the first weekend of the summer holidays (in the south of the Netherlands)? Our Bricktopia fair is a great day out for LEGO fans of all ages.
For this edition of Summer Bricktopia, we will be filling around 1,000 square metres of floor space with everything to do with LEGO. Our members are once again busy building and collecting, eager to showcase their finest creations and collections. A total of 29 exhibitors will be taking part, showcasing a wide variety of themes. This time, we will also have guest exhibitors: Michael Nienhuis, with his impressively large LEGO zoo, and Guido Verstegen. The latter has created a display featuring a large LEGO castle called ‘De Konijnenburg’, based on Doorwerth Castle in Gelderland.
On 11 and 12 July, you can also enjoy LEGO creations and displays by Dutchbricks members on the following themes:
Animal crossing
Architecture
Botanicals
Dinosaurs / Jurassic World
Harry Potter
Weert Castle
Fairground Square
LEGO Scala
Medieval Fantasy
Ninjago
Speed champions
Technic vehicles, in a wide range of sizes and themes, including agricultural models and models of a DAF XF370 lorry and a CAT 329D crawler excavator
There’s also a fun building corner. Catering, including the terrace, is provided by our partner Graydon Events. Have you found some inspiration and want to carry on building at home? Then head to Zomer Bricktopia, where you’ll find nine vendors selling both individual pieces and official LEGO sets. It promises to be a wonderful weekend for LEGO enthusiasts from Horst and the surrounding area.
