“Luckily, the weather wasn’t too warm but was still lovely enough to encourage people to visit.

“Everyone has a really good time and we will definitely be returning next year.”

As part of the festival, the museum held a creation competition, which was won by a seven-year-old boy, who made a desert island out of Lego.

Bressingham Bricks has grown significantly in popularity since it began in 2019.
