2019 marks 50 years since the Apollo missions #OneGiantLeapLeicester festival celebrates this anniversary with a number of events around the city. The Outer-Space trail by BRICKLIVE® takes visitors on a Space Race of their own to locate 15 LEGO® Brick Models of various rockets astronauts and more placed throughout the city centre. Put on your moon boots and blast off as we rub shoulders with Lego Neil Armstrong in Highcross, See the Space Shuttle ready for lift off at New Walk Museum and see the entire planet earth at the King Richard III visitor centre. There's lots to see and my film only shows a few of the pieces so your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to boldly go and find all 15 pieces.

I visited the Abbey Pumping Station for Meccano Magic a celebration of the well known construction toy. The large hall was packed with many different colourful and intricate models created by enthusiasts from the wide variety of shapes and colours available in the Meccano range. Many of the designs had been crafted without instructions showing the creativity of their creators. On one table sat a model of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars which its creator believed to be the only one of its kind in existence and had been created purely from photographs of the iconic spacecraft. Other models on show included steam engines, cranes, Red Arrow and Spitfire planes and even remote control cars all created using the construction toy. My film aims to capture the atmosphere of the popular event and features just a small selection of the models on show.
