World’s longest interlocking brick bridge at Rochester Cathedral this summer
More than 200,000 bricks have been clicked together to form the centrepiece of this summer’s free of charge family activities organised by the Rochester Bridge Trust. The All About Bridges event will take place in the Nave of Rochester Cathedral this August. Alongside it will be a range of supporting activities to educate and entertain families during the summer holidays.
Most activities including Adventure Golf do not require pre-booking. Only some hands on activities on Tuesdays and Saturdays do. Details below.
Record-breaking bridge
Forming the centrepiece of our summer activities is the amazing world-record breaking bridge in our Nave. Made of 20,000 bricks it was constructed by BRICKLIVE and was created for the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
