Now available for pre-order!
I've had this kit in mind since the illegal felling in 2023 of Northumberland's iconic Sycamore tree at Sycamore Gap. The loss was keenly felt in the region, and indeed all over the country. It was a place that I have visited numerous times, in various seasons, and from where I have fond memories
My custom LEGO kit of how it used to look, nestled in a dip with Hadrian's Wall rising either side, is now available to pre-order. It has over 600 parts and comes in a signed box. The kit measures 32 cm wide once built, and 13cm high.
In recent months there has been some good news as the stump appears to be alive and new growth is appearing. There have also been 49 saplings grown from seeds from the felled tree, and these 'Trees of Hope' have been donated to 49 different charities and organisations around the country.
To celebrate this, the first 49 kits sold will also come with a mini-figure and a sapling! These kits will be numbered 1 to 49.
For each kit sold a donation will be made of £10 split between two charities:
The National Trust's Hadrian's Wall Appeal
The Northumberland National Park Foundation
Kits are available to pre-order until the end of March 2025, with kits expected to ship by the spring.
Please note the design of the kit and packaging is still being finalised and may differ slightly from that shown.
