The short version

Perth’s fan-run Bricktober returns to Curtin Stadium in Bentley on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026, 10am to 4pm both days, with quieter low-sensory sessions from 8.30am. Tickets are on sale now at $17 per person or $50 for a four-person pass, a small rise on last year’s $15 and $45. It is run by the Rotary Club of Ascot, not the LEGO Group, with profits going to community and international projects.

What is Bricktober?

Bricktober is an annual fan-built LEGO exhibition organised by the Rotary Club of Ascot and run with the help of volunteers.

It began in 2014 as a one-day event at Belmont City College before moving through larger venues as attendance grew. It is now held at Curtin Stadium on Curtin University’s Bentley campus.

For anyone new to Perth’s LEGO community, Bricktober is one of the major events on the local fan calendar. Rather than being a touring LEGO Group production, the displays are created by local hobbyists, enthusiasts and community groups using their own collections and custom builds.

That distinction is a big part of Bricktober’s appeal. It is essentially WA’s LEGO fan community taking over a stadium for a weekend and showing the public what they have spent the year building.

Bricktober 2026: dates, venue and tickets

  • Dates: Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026
  • General admission: 10am to 4pm
  • Low-sensory sessions: 8.30am to 9.30am
  • Venue: Curtin Stadium, Curtin University, Bentley
  • Individual ticket: $17
  • Four-person family pass: $50

The dates, opening hours and ticket prices are listed on Bricktober’s official website, with tickets available through TryBooking.

Last year’s tickets were $15 per person and $45 for a family pass, so 2026 brings a modest rise: $2 more for an individual and $5 more for the four-person pass. At $17 and $50 it is still fair value for a full day out, but it is an increase, not a hold.

The prominently advertised low-sensory sessions are also worth noting. Each morning, attendees wanting a quieter environment can enter between 8.30am and 9.30am, before general admission begins.

What’s on at Bricktober 2026?

The organisers are promising the familiar mix of displays and hands-on activities again this year. Visitors can expect:

  • large LEGO displays created by local builders
  • hands-on LEGO building activities
  • building competitions
  • a brick pit
  • remote-control LEGO vehicles
  • raffles and lucky dips
  • exclusive Bricktober 2026 merchandise
  • LEGO sets and products available to buy
  • food and drinks from local vendors

TryBooking’s promotional material describes 2026 as “the biggest one yet”, although that is best treated as organiser marketing rather than a measurable claim until attendance and exhibitor figures are in after the event.

There is certainly precedent for a big turnout. Reporting from the 2019 event put attendance at around 8,000 people, with 70 exhibitors and roughly 300 tables of LEGO displays.

WA’s most spectacular LEGO® event is back, and this year we’re taking it to a whole new level.

That is how the organisers are promoting the 2026 show through TryBooking, so expectations are clearly being set high.

How long has Bricktober been running?

There is a small wrinkle here.

The current Bricktober homepage promotes 2026 as “Celebrating 13 Years of Bricktober”, which lines up with the event beginning in 2014. Further down the same page, though, older copy still refers to the “2024 event” and describes Bricktober as being in its 11th year.

That looks like a section of the site that has not been refreshed rather than a genuine dispute over the event’s history. The organisers’ own history says Bricktober first ran in 2014, so the 13-year figure being promoted for 2026 is the more current claim.

Is Bricktober an official LEGO event?

No. Bricktober is a project of the Rotary Club of Ascot and is a community-run fan event. It is not organised by the LEGO Group.

That is worth making clear, because LEGO exhibitions range from official or licensed touring productions through to independently organised fan shows. Bricktober sits firmly in the latter category: local builders displaying their own creations, supported by volunteers and community organisations.

Where does the money go?

Bricktober is run as a fundraiser rather than a commercial LEGO exhibition. According to the organisers, profits are divided between three main areas: support for the Rotary Foundation, the Bricktober Playtub Programme, and other Rotary-backed community and international projects.

The Rotary Foundation’s major international focus includes the global campaign to eradicate polio. The Playtub Programme uses Bricktober fundraising to provide LEGO bricks to schools and community playgroups, while money raised has also supported disaster response and clean-water projects among the club’s wider local and international work.

So while most visitors will understandably turn up for a stadium full of LEGO, the weekend also doubles as one of the Rotary Club of Ascot’s major community fundraising projects.

Bricktober 2026 at a glance

Bricktober has grown a long way from the one-day community exhibition that launched in 2014, but the basic formula has stayed much the same: local builders, an enormous amount of LEGO, hands-on activities, and money raised for community projects.

For Perth LEGO fans, the important part is simple: Bricktober is back on 10 and 11 October, and tickets are already on sale. Prices have crept up a little for 2026, and quieter early-access sessions run on both mornings, so it is shaping up to be another busy weekend at Curtin Stadium.
