The May 18 event is being staged for the second consecutive year by Lockington Neighbourhood House in partnership with the Bendigo Lego User Group.
On at Lockington and District Community Centre, from 10am to 2pm, with entry via gold coin donation, all proceeds from the day will support Lockington FoodShare and community kitchen.
Locky Blocks will feature many of the exhibits from the recent Bendigo Bricks 2025.
Entries in a local children’s building competition will also be on display, with winners to be announced at noon.
“There will be something for Lego fans of all ages,” event co-ordinator Owen O’Brien said.
‘’It is quite a coup for Lockington to draw such an extensive show given its population and location.
“Everyone involved with the inaugural Locky Blocks in 2024 was thrilled with the response and we committed to making this year’s event bigger and better.
“The exhibitors love the opportunity to share their work and the reception was so warm in Lockington last year that our members were very keen to come back,” he said.
Locky Blocks is running with the Lockington Swap Meet and Show ‘n’ Shine, a fully catered event under the auspices of Lockington Lions Club on at Lockington Park from 7am to 1pm. Admission is $5 per adult.

The show ‘n’ shine will feature six competition categories — people’s choice, best motorcycle, best original motorcycle, best paintwork, best original and best engine bay.
To complete a full program of activities on May 18, Lockington Community Market is on from 9am to noon at Lions/Apex Park, next to the swap meet precinct.
“It will be a great day to pop out to our little town,” Lockington Neighbourhood House co-ordinator Tanya McDermott said.
Bargain hunters browsed the swap meet at Lockington in 2024.

“Each of the activities are within easy walking distance and there is sure to be something of interest for every member of the family.
“We are proud to present these events and look forward to welcoming locals and visitors alike on the day.’’
