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.”

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.
