An Impressive Build
The 2m x 1.5m LEGO model took 105 days and 840 hours to build, using all 55,667 bricks. It showcases the Subtropical Swimming Paradise at Center Parcs Longford Forest — Ireland’s first Subtropical Swimming Paradise, surrounded by tropical plants and designed to stay warm all year round.
Meet the Builders
Jessica Farrell explains that her love of LEGO began when she was just four years old. “When I was asked by Center Parcs to collaborate on something so exciting, and to do so with my own son, Faolán, I jumped at the chance,” she says.
55,667 bricks and 840 hours later, the Subtropical Swimming Paradise had taken shape in miniature — brick by brick.
Well done to Jessica and Faolán — a LEGO-tastic mum-and-son combo!
