A Star Wars themed Lego exhibition has opened for the summer at Himley Hall.

The Amor Lego exhibition started at the weekend and runs until 30 September and admission is free.

Star Wars fans can view a series of themed displays including an Ewok village, space station, desert and ice plateau staged with figures and vehicles.

Lego versions of gunships, including the Imperial Star Destroyer and Millennium Falcon, a Sandcrawler, AT-AT Walkers and Jabba the Hut’s Palace are featured and individual Lego figures include Jabba the Hut, Bobba Fett, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan-Kenobi, C3-PO and R2-D2 plus a range of Storm Troopers, Droids and Ewoks.

Models made of Lego include a Lego Yoda, a life size Darth Maul head and a range of vehicles, including the Death Star. A range of light sabres and official lego posters are also on display. People visiting the exhibition will also be able to see other items from the technics and creator Lego ranges such as Sydney Opera House.

The start of the exhibition coincides with the opening of the hall’s brand new coffee lounge. It serves tea, coffee, light refreshments and food from 11am to 4pm every Wednesday to Sunday. Alan Lunt, strategic director for place, said:

“We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful exhibition, which will prove interesting to children and adults of all ages. I’m sure visitors will have fun identifying the Lego versions of their favourite characters and can try out the new coffee lounge at the same time.”

Two further exhibitions will be on display in the Oak Gallery until Saturday 8 July. These are a 40-year retrospective of the painter Ron Satterthwaite and A Wildlife Wander around the World featuring a range of wildlife paintings by David Spencer. 

As well as the new coffee lounge, the hall continues to offer its pre-booked, and very popular, high-end indulgent afternoon teas on selected Tuesdays and some Saturdays throughout the year.
