AWARD-winning science and discovery centre, W5, has opened the doors to a brand-new gift shop and Lego Zone.

The new gift shop is located on the ground floor of W5 and will stock a wide range of products, such as science kits, toys and books. It will also include an exciting Lego Zone which will sell a wide range of Lego products.

The themed space will feature a series of life-sized Lego models, including movie characters such as ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Yoda’.

The news follows the recent announcement of a £4.5m investment programme by The Odyssey Trust that will facilitate a significant transformation of W5. The redevelopment of the attraction is set to take between 24 and 30 months to complete.

Adrian Lutton, head of exhibitions, design and marketing at W5, said:

“The opening of our new gift shop represents an important step in W5’s ongoing refurbishment and redevelopment programme. It is great to be working with Lego, one of the world’s leading brands and a company that shares our goal of promoting innovation and imagination.”
