We want everyone to check under their beds and down the sofas and bring any pieces of stray Lego down to our Lego Amnesty. Help us build a massive sculpture using all your old Lego!<\/p>\n

The Cowboys and Indians will be there too and have set up their teepees and you are welcome to come and sit around their REAL pretend fire. Bill and Ben will lead you to the Walled Garden where Firsty Artists have been transforming it into an amazing Sculpture Garden.<\/p>\n

So get into the 50s spirit on and prepare to step back in time this June Bank Holiday when you come and celebrate the Diamond Jubilee with us, lots of fun and entertainment for the whole family for the whole weekend from 12 \u2013 6pm both days.<\/p>\n
