A ‘LEGO celebration’ of Black Sabbath in Birmingham
LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Birmingham Celebrates Black Sabbath’s Last Gig…
LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham rocks out with a new Miniland build of Black Sabbath, featuring a pint-sized Prince of Darkness complete with iconic shades and flowing locks. Set in a brick-built Villa Park, Birmingham, the location of the band’s final ever show this weekend.
Brace yourselves – the Godfathers of Heavy Metal have gone plastic. In honour of Black Sabbath’s last-ever gig this weekend, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham has revealed a devilishly detailed tribute to the city’s most famous rockers – with none other than Ozzy Osbourne taking centre stage, LEGO®-style.
Set inside a mini-Villa Park, the very venue where Sabbath will take their final hometown bow, the brick-built Black Sabbath scene stars a mic-wielding Ozzy, complete with signature round specs, flowing locks, stained glass windows and just the right amount of mischief.

Crafted by the Centre’s expert Master Model Builders, the tribute riffs on decades of rock history, giving fans of all ages the chance to see the Prince of ‘LEGO’ Darkness up close. It’s part of the Centre’s permanent Miniland experience, which celebrates iconic Birmingham landmarks and legends.
Amy Langham, General Manager of the Discovery Centre Birmingham:
“Black Sabbath are true Birmingham icons, and this felt like the perfect way to honour their final hometown show. Our Master Model Builders had great fun bringing Ozzy and the band to life in LEGO® form – and we hope it strikes a chord with Sabbath fans young and old.”
Fans can rock up and see the miniature metalheads from today (Tuesday 1st July). Imagery, video content and interviews with the Master Model Builders are available on request. No bats were harmed in the making of this model.
