Brickish - a LEGO User Group

What makes Brickish, Brickish?

It is the people behind it — the builders, collectors, exhibitors, volunteers and LEGO® fans who come together across the UK to share ideas, inspire each other and enjoy the hobby together.

Over the coming weeks we are sharing a little more about what makes up the Brickish community, by using the Brickish Alphabet, starting with A.

A is for AFOL — Adult Fan of LEGO®.

A familiar term across the LEGO® world, but also a big part of what Brickish is all about.

Because being part of Brickish is not about building in one particular way. Some members create huge displays. Some collect. Some volunteer at events. Some come along to local meet-ups. Some are returning to LEGO® after years away.

What brings it all together is a shared love of all aspects of LEGO® and being part of a wider community that enjoys building, sharing and inspiring others.

We have put together a blog post looking at A is for AFOL and why it says so much about the Brickish community.

Lovely evening chatting Lego at the Milton Keynes meetup last month.
Lots of interesting builds created during our mini building challenge, we built creatures/robots/mechs using three-ish bags from old advent calendar bags.

Brickish local meet-ups are a great way to meet fellow adult LEGO fans, share ideas and chat LEGO.
