The Ely Brick Show at the Countess Free Church was held on Saturday (March 16) in aid of Ely Christians Against Poverty (Ely CAP).

Super displays of Lego models ranging from cities, a castle, a fairground and even Big Ben attracted dozens of enthusiasts to the fundraising event.

Derek Tye, from the Ely CAP Debt Centre, said: “It was a great day, and we are very grateful to church for hosting, and to Duncan Bridges who came up with the idea and undertook most of the organisation.”

Excited children and grown ups marvelled at displays including the incredible Brick on Sea Lego City.

A Robot Wars style event also took place with a chance for revellers to battle it out using robots constructed from Lego kits.

Other displays included Big Ben, Tower Bridge, a castle and a mind-boggling moving display.

All the proceeds of the day went towards the Ely CAP, which is a partnership between the churches in Ely and provides free debt counselling to anyone who feels weighed down by debt.
