LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester is throwing a small party in celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest.
The attraction’s Master Model Builder, James Windle, has been busy creating a micro-masterpiece entirely from LEGO ahead of the contest’s final.
The scene took more than 18 hours to complete and includes the Eurovision stage which is made from 6,000 bricks plus a crowd of cheering spectators.
To pay homage to last year’s winners, there is a UK and Ukraine flag included in the model.

A mini LEGO version of Mae Muller is also included in the scene.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter from London will take to the stage as the UK’s candidate this year.
Liverpool is hosting the 67th edition of the international singing competition and streets of the city have been replicated in the display to mirror the full-scale event.
The micro-Eurovision party is a new addition to LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester’s MINILAND, which is home to miniature versions of Manchester, Blackpool and Liverpool.
The Liverpool MINILAND scene also includes landmarks including the Liver Building and the Royal Albert Dock.

James Windle, Master Model Builder at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester, said: “It is a privilege for the UK to be hosting Eurovision for the first time since 1998 and we’re honoured to mark the special event with the world’s smallest Eurovision party here at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester.
“Our mini-figures have lined the streets of Liverpool in the site’s MINILAND to celebrate the song contest and our nation’s entry – (mini) Mae Muller. The display not only includes the adoring fans, but also the Eurovision stage too.
“Our Eurovision celebrations will be on display in MINILAND throughout the song contest, right up until the grand finale, we can’t wait to welcome our guests to the attraction and enjoy the world’s smallest Eurovision party!”
