Castlepoint Library in Bournemouth, Dorset, runs a free Lego Club every Saturday morning to give local children a place to play and be creative. The weekly sessions provide a drop-in activity where families can come together to build with bricks; the club is organised by Castlepoint Library staff on behalf of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council.
The club takes place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and does not require advance booking or registration. It is hosted at the Castlepoint Library branch adjacent to the Castlepoint Shopping Centre on Castle Lane West (BH8).
The initiative forms part of BCP Council’s wider library strategy to make libraries central hubs for their communities. According to BBC News and BCP Council communications, the authority has committed to keeping its 24 libraries across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole open and accessible to residents.
The Lego Club began after members of the local community donated bricks to help start the sessions, and the weekly, no-cost activities offer parents and carers a free option for weekend children’s play. The programme runs as the council prepares for changes under the Community Governance Review, including the establishment of new town councils on 1 April 2026.
