Themes

At the end of January, the organisers let everyone who had registered know who had been accepted as a participant in Bricktopia World. So now we also know which themes will be on display at the MECC on 17 and 18 May 2025.

In addition to a host of current LEGO® themes, there will also be creations to admire from older LEGO® themes of which no new sets are now being released. The same applies to themes that have not been sold as sets by LEGO® itself at all but of which participants have made beautiful constructions with their own MOCs (My Own Creation).

These are themes you can see at Bricktopia World:

Fabuland

Castle

Fair

Medieval

Military

Pirates

Space

Sculptures

Wild West

Vikings

Dioramas

During Bricktopia World, many so-called dioramas will be presented. These are set-ups (both large and small) in which builders can use all their imagination and often create beautiful LEGO® creations that you can look at endlessly.

Dive with us on 17 and 18 May into the world of dioramas made of only LEGO® bricks and discover something new all the time in all the scenes such a layout often contains.

Besides Dutchbricks’ big community build: the Vrijthof in LEGO®, dioramas in the following themes will also be on display:

Location

This event will be held at the MECC in Maastricht. Dutchbricks has chosen to make use of the Expo Foyer + the adjacent MeccAtable. Enough space to accommodate many exhibitors and vendors.

Opening hours Bricktopia World: Both days from 10:00 to 17:00.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Below are answers to several questions. Click on a question to read the answer. Is the answer to your question not listed? Feel free to contact us.

Will there be daytime box office on 17 and 18 May?

Yes, there will be daytime box office on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May. So you can just come to the MECC and enjoy the most beautiful LEGO builds.

Please note that we are only allowed to let in a maximum number of visitors at the same time. In case of large crowds, you may therefore have to wait a while until there is space again.

What are the payment options at the event?

At the daytime box office, you can pay in cash as well as with your debit card.

At the catering in the MECC, payment can ONLY be made by debit card. Cash payment is not possible here.

At the sales stands, it depends per vendor which payment methods are accepted.
Is there a cloakroom available?

Unguarded coat racks are available outside the venue (in front of the entrance). Use of these is at your own risk.

Given the predicted good weather, there will only be minimal cloakroom facilities (maximum 300 hangers). The MECC also has paid lockers where you can store your belongings.
Will photos and videos be taken during Bricktopia World?

There will most likely be a lot of filming and photography, both by the organisation (and its media partners) and by visitors.
