Come face-to-face with a lion, a tiger and a panda in Basingstoke
The brick models will be at Festival Place this Easter
Visitors to Basingstoke's Festival Place shopping centre this Easter will come face to face with an African lion, a Bengal tiger and a giant panda - all made out of bricks.
The retail and leisure destination will host the BRICKLIVE Animal Paradise model trail from April 8-19, giving people the chance to learn about endangered animals from around the world.
BRICKLIVE has used hundreds of thousands of brightly coloured bricks to hand build 15 models, which also include an orangutan, macaw, dolphin and snow leopard.
Festival Place is inviting explorers to track these incredible animals through wildlands, across snow and ice, over the ocean and through the jungle.
Each model will have an information stand with facts about the animal alongside the number of bricks used to build the statue and how long it took.
A trail map will lead families around the centre to find as many models as they can. Maps will be available to collect from the Customer Lounge or can be downloaded via the website.
Events and Community Manager Sian Fisher said: “We’re very excited to offer this wild experience to all our visitors throughout the Easter holidays.
“This fantastic tour around the world to discover these endangered animals is both fun and educational, and the Bricklive sculptures really are incredible.”
