STONEHENGE is set to be immortalised in LEGO form this half-term, and you can be a part of it.
English Heritage is holding 'The big LEGO brick build at Stonehenge' from Saturday, May 27 to Sunday, June 4.
Participants will join LEGO brick artists Kevin Hall and Emily Corl from Brick Galleria, to help construct an impressive one-tonne model of the historic Wiltshire landmark.
The pair have previously produced models for Walt Disney, Marvel and Microsoft.
The model will be made from hundreds of thousands of bricks, and children over four years old, along with parents are encouraged to head on down and take part in the build.

Participants will create upscaled LEGO blocks which Kevin and Emily will use to create the replica 'LEGO-henge' which will stand over five metres tall - nearly half a million bricks will be needed.
Scott Ashman, English Heritage Head of Historic Properties for Stonehenge said: "We are so excited for this event and we’re all looking forward to taking part."
The building blocks may be smaller than those used in the actual Stonehenge but there are thousands more of them, we love the fact that the bricks fit together in much the same way as the stones at Stonehenge."
He added: "We’ll need all the help we can get completing this huge model of the monument before the week is out."
Relaxed and quiet LEGO® brick build sessions will run daily between 10am and 10.30am each morning.
Admission to the event is free with a standard Stonehenge ticket, which can be purchased on the English Heritage website.
