A Gromit sculpture created from 30,456 Lego bricks and which took an expert team of builders at Lego’s headquarters more than 120 hours to create will be joining this summer’s Gromit Unleashed 2.
Cracking Build Gromit! will be located at Cabot Circus for the duration of this summer’s trail, which returns to the streets of Bristol from July 2 until September 2.
Lego vice president of design, Matthew Ashton, said: “Wallace and Gromit will always be a favourite of mine, so I am over the moon we have been given the opportunity to create our very own brick-built Lego Gromit for The Grand Appeal.

Director and screenwriter Wes Anderson will be providing Gromit with an Isle of Dogs makeover from his latest film, while the makers of Paw Patrol will be transforming Gromit into one of the characters from the popular Nick Jr show.
