Lego Printing Workshop for Kids with Sombrero printmaking

In this exciting 1–1.5 hour session, kids can turn their favourite building bricks into creative tools—using Lego to design their own printing plates. They’ll then bring their ideas to life by printing bold, colourful patterns onto card and paper, creating artwork that’s completely unique. Every young artist will leave with a collection of their own handmade prints to take home and treasure. All materials and equipment are provided, so they can dive straight into the fun. While it’s not the messiest activity, printing can get a little inky—so we recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting creative in. Best to save your favourite outfits for another day! No experience is needed at all—just imagination! This is a relaxed, friendly workshop packed with ideas, encouragement, and hands-on support to help every child create something they’re proud of.

More about Bakewell

Derbyshire, England

Bakewell sits snugly in Derbyshire where the Peak District hills keep a watchful eye on what goes on below. The Town Hall has been hosting community gatherings for decades while Medway Community Centre usually manages something as practical as a parent-and-toddler group or a local club meeting. It is quite a scene without needing to shout about it. Pub bands might squeeze in between market days and the odd cinema screening keeps the screens lit when the rain starts. We pull all these bits together so you do not waste time hunting through endless online listings. Just walk out your door and see what your neighbours have organised for this evening.
