Dragons at The Lexicon

This summer, The Lexicon is bringing a month of mythical fun to Bracknell with Dragons at The Lexicon - a free, family-friendly event featuring a host of dragon-themed attractions.

Step into a world of fantasy as five impressive animatronic dragons appear across the streets, alongside ten beautifully designed dragon eggs created by local secondary schools and colleges in partnership with Daler-Rowney. Visitors can follow the trail, including a 1.6-metre-tall LEGO® dragon in Fenwick, as they set out to discover them all.

Throughout the summer holidays, families can also enjoy weekly meet-and-greet sessions with five spectacular dragon puppets. Meanwhile, The Lexicon Express will be transformed with colourful dragon scales and a limited-edition dragon sticker to collect along the way.

Visitors are encouraged to snap, tag and share their favourite moments on social media, whether posing with a dragon, one of the eggs or the giant dragon deckchair for the chance to win exciting summer prizes.

Sue Boor, Head of Marketing at The Lexicon, said:
"We’re delighted to bring Dragons at The Lexicon to Bracknell this summer. With a packed programme of free activities for all ages and the chance to win a share of prizes worth £1,000, we can’t wait to see visitors discover the dragons and enjoy everything the event has to offer."
