Bricktopia World would be a one-time event, specifically to celebrate the 10th anniversary of <a href=\"https:\/\/dutchbricks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutchbricks<\/a>.<\/p><p>After all the enthusiastic reactions and the many questions about a follow-up, we as the association decided to return to the MECC Maastricht in 2027.\u00a0<\/p><p>Based on our accumulated experience in 2025 and the feedback from participants and visitors, we are moving the MECC from the Expo Foyer to the North Hall. This allowed us to improve our plans and expand from approximately 3,500 m\u00b2 to 5,000 m\u00b2. We thought that this was a significant step and that we would have enough space for the time being.<\/p><p>The reality, however, is different. The interest in Bricktopia World 2027 is greater than we had expected. From within and outside the Netherlands, we have already received a huge number of beautiful applications from potential participants. This has led us to decide to take the next step now:<\/p><p><strong>WE ARE GROWING TO APPROXIMATELY 6,750 M\u00b2!<\/strong><\/p><p>That is almost twice as much space as during the first edition of Bricktopia World in 2025. This expansion gives us, among other things, the opportunity to welcome even more exhibitors with beautiful and impressive LEGO\u00ae constructions, a larger Kids Zone and a more spacious food and beverage area with more seating.<\/p><p>In the coming time, there will be more and more information shared about Bricktopia World 2027, so keep an eye on this website and the Dutchbricks social media channels. We look forward to seeing you on April 10th and\/or 11th 2027 at the MECC Maastricht.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>BUILD \u2022 INSPIRE \u2022 CONNECT<\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module divider -->\n<div  class=\"module tf_mw module-divider tb_zbdf218 solid\" style=\"border-width: 0px;margin-top: 20px;\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/module divider -->\n        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-2 tb_fzio595 last\">\n                    <!-- module image -->\n<div  class=\"module module-image tb_8dpy807 image-center   tf_mw\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"image-wrap tf_rel tf_mw\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/bricktopia-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BW-2027-We-gaan-groeien-EN-web.png\" class=\"wp-post-image wp-image-5028\" title=\"BW 2027 - We are going to grow\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bricktopia-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BW-2027-We-gaan-groeien-EN-web.png 540w, https:\/\/bricktopia-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BW-2027-We-gaan-groeien-EN-web-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bricktopia-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BW-2027-We-gaan-groeien-EN-web-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bricktopia-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BW-2027-We-gaan-groeien-EN-web-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/>    \n        <\/div>\n    <!-- \/image-wrap -->\n    \n        <\/div>\n<!-- \/module image --><!-- module divider -->\n<div  class=\"module tf_mw module-divider tb_9cev872 solid\" style=\"border-width: 0px;margin-top: 20px;\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/module divider -->\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_9mgi507\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><strong>Pre-registration for participants ends on November 15th<\/strong><\/p><p>Are you interested in being part of our world of LEGO\u00ae fun?

Hierdoor konden we onze plannen verbeteren en uitbreiden van circa 3.500 m\u00b2 naar 5.000 m\u00b2. Dat leek ons een flinke stap en we dachten dat we daarmee voorlopig wel genoeg ruimte zouden hebben.<\/p><p>De realiteit is echter anders. De belangstelling voor Bricktopia World 2027 is groter dan we hadden verwacht. Vanuit binnen- en buitenland zijn er al ontzettend veel mooie aanmeldingen van potenti\u00eble deelnemers binnengekomen. Dat heeft er toe geleid dat we hebben besloten om nu al een volgende stap te zetten:<\/p><p><strong>WE GROEIEN DOOR NAAR CIRCA 6.750 M\u00b2!<\/strong><\/p><p>Dat is bijna twee keer zoveel ruimte als tijdens de eerste editie van Bricktopia World in 2025. Deze uitbreiding geeft ons onder andere de mogelijkheid tot het verwelkomen van nog meer exposanten van prachtige en indrukwekkende LEGO\u00ae bouwwerken, een grotere Kids Zone en een ruimer opgezet horecagedeelte met meer zitplaatsen.<\/p><p>De komende tijd zal er steeds meer informatie worden gedeeld over Bricktopia World 2027 dus houd deze website en de social media kanalen van Dutchbricks in de gaten.
