We are excited to announce the arrival of the Brick Endangered Trail, a spectacular free family event taking over Romford town centre from 27th March to 13th April 2026.
This brand-new trail invites visitors of all ages to get up close and personal with 18 life-sized endangered animal models, each hand-built from hundreds of thousands of toy bricks. These breathtaking creations will be displayed across Romford, transforming the town into a fun and educational wildlife adventure for the whole family to enjoy and offering plenty of opportunities to take photos with the models along the way.
Follow the trail and discover incredible brick sculptures of some of the world’s most endangered animals, including:
- Giant Panda
- Indian Elephant
- Asiatic Lion
- Gorilla
- Clouded Leopard
- Tapanuli Orangutan
Each model celebrates the beauty of these animals while helping to raise awareness of the importance of wildlife conservation.

The trail is brought to you in partnership with Iconic Bricks and will take participants through key locations across Romford town centre, including The Brewery, The Liberty, The Mercury Mall, Romford Shopping Hall, and several participating stores. Visitors can pick up a free trail sheet, hunt for all the models, and submit their completed entry for a chance to win exciting prizes. Trail sheets will be available at all 4 Shopping Centres and retailers throughout the town centre.
