Kids and AFOLs (adult fans of LEGO — and no, we haven’t made that term up) can go and get their hands on some free LEGO this weekend. Say no more, race you there.
But no, on a serious note, the beloved Danish toy brand is holding what they are calling ‘The Big LEGO Event‘ this Saturday, 21 October to celebrate this year’s October half-term holiday.
From 9am at Smyths Toys Superstores exclusively all around the UK, shops will be handing out free giveaway bags of LEGO mini-sets as well as holding fun in-store demonstrations.
The free sets that will be available on the day include themes such as NINJAGO, LEGO City, LEGO Dreamzz, LEGO Friends, Harry Potter and more.
LEGO® Fans get ready for The Big LEGO® Event! 😍
We have LEGO® giveaways at your local Smyths Toys Superstore, Saturday 21st October from 9am – while stocks last. ✨
Join the fun at our instore demo AND receive a FREE LEGO® giveaway. While stocks last. 😎
Smyths is the toy shop giving away free LEGO for the event.
Now obviously, you can’t just go in there and sweep up every block in sight; the event is limited to one free giveaway bag of LEGO per customer, but the promotion doesn’t stop there either.
Alongside entertaining kids with fun and interactive demos by Smyths Toys in-store, giving the little ones a chance to build their ‘dream city’, LEGO themselves are cutting prices on numerous different sets available on their online store.
While some Big LEGO Event special offers are exclusive to specific stores, the discounted online sets include licensed products Marvel, Star Wars and Indiana Jones-themed sets.
In the region Greater Manchester, there is a total of six different Smyths locations, as well a few more close by in surrounding areas like Warrington.
You can find you’re nearest Symths Toys Superstore using their shop finder HERE.
Speaking of which, there also happens to be a brand-new Manchester LEGO shop coming to the Trafford Centre very soon — and it promises to be a little bit different than others.

To celebrate England Women’s football team winning UEFA Euro 2025, Lidl is giving away £10 off vouchers to lucky customers.
The supermarket retailer is celebrating England women’s football team’s historic second-consecutive win by giving away £10 vouchers to members who sign up to the Lidl Plus app.
After securing their second Euro victory, the Lionesses have brought home the gold for England, and also scored us money off our next shopping trip – get in.
Titled ‘The Triumphant Tenner’, the German-founded supermarket has launched its latest campaign after the Euro 2025 result, exclusively on its Lidl Plus app.
Lidl has celebrated the Lionesses Euro 2025 victories before, as it gave away £2 off vouchers to 15,000 fans after our ladies scored two goals against Sweden in last Thursday’s match.
The retail giant even gave a free sweet treat to 50,000 Lidl plus app customers from its much-loved bakery after the Lionesses secured their place in the final.
Now, to celebrate the Euro 2025 win, Lidl is giving 100,000 football fans 25% off fruit, as well as 2,025 vouchers for £10 off your next shop.
This isn’t the first time that England Women’s football team have brought home the Euro trophy after beating Germany in the final back in 2022.
It’s also not the first time Forward player Chloe Kelly has led the Lionesses to victory scoring the winning goal at both Euro championships in 2022 and 2025.
The ex-Manchester City Women’s, now Arsenal, star is definitely proud of the team’s achievement, as in a post on the UEFA Women’s Euro account, she cheers: “The first time was so nice, we had to do it twice”.
If you fancy 25% off fruit and a chance to win £10 off your next shop, enter code ‘CHAMPS2025’ into your Lidl Plus app can find more information via their app and online HERE.

Viral K-beauty brand Pureseoul is opening ‘second, even bigger’ store in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
K-Beauty brand Pureseoul has announced plans for a second Manchester store, and this time, they’re taking on the Trafford Centre.
Packed full of cult Korean beauty products including skincare and make-up, Pureseoul had an impressive launch into the city with its Arndale opening last year.
Anyone with a passing interest in skincare and beauty knows that no one makes products quite like Korea.
From facemasks and serums to lip tints and eyeshadow palettes, Pureseoul is a haven for all things beauty.
And following its northern debut last year, the beauty retailer is now setting its sights on an ‘even bigger’ base for us.
Pureseoul has confirmed it’s taken on a unit at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, which will be its 11th in the UK.
Co-founder Gracie Tullio said: “This isn’t just another Manchester store.

“Our northern community is incredibly loyal and engaged. Arndale brought the bright energy of the city – students, young professionals, Gen-Z K-Beauty lovers.
“Trafford Centre offers an opportunity for something different: families, day-trippers, weekend explorers, with time to dwell and explore our curations.
“We’ve always known there were thousands more fans we hadn’t been able to reach – until now!”

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, said: “We’re really excited to welcome PURESEOUL to Trafford Centre – it’s a fantastic addition to our ever-growing beauty offering.
“We’re seeing a real boom in the beauty sector at the centre, with more and more visitors coming to us as a one-stop destination for all things beauty.
“As the top-rated Korean beauty brand in the UK, with a hugely popular following, PURESEOUL brings something fresh and exciting to that mix, which we’re sure will really resonate with our visitors.”
