The LEGO Store Metrocentre in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, has launched a new series of free and low-cost building sessions for families this February 2026. Known as She Built That, these interactive workshops are designed to help children explore their creative skills through play during the upcoming school holidays.
Guided workshops are held daily from 16 February to 22 February, 2026, with sessions running at 10:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:30 PM. Parents must book these specific sessions in advance through the LEGO Creativity Workshops Portal because space is limited and expected to fill up quickly.
Children visiting the store in the Lower Red Mall can build items like personalised photo frames and gamer tags to take home. The Metrocentre also offers smaller walk-in activities on certain weekends, such as building hearts or roses, which do not require a booking and are handed out while stocks last.
These events from The LEGO Group are aimed at children aged between 6 and 12 but are open to all families looking for things to do. The workshops focus on giving children the freedom to build whatever they imagine in a supportive environment.
