Virtual Builders: Minecraft Club

Take part in design and build challenges and meet other gamers at the Farrell Centre’s own Minecraft club. 

This regular club will explore the potential of Minecraft as a tool to understand Architecture, Design and City Planning. Farrell Centre staff will set Minecraft design and build challenges for participants and offer a space for gamers and their parents to come together and share the worlds they have created. This programme was developed in collaboration with a group of primary school children. 

29th August – Castles

Castles have been continually reimagined over hundreds of years, and many of these architectural masterpieces still stand across our region. Join us as we take a closer peek at these builds, their important place in history, and the chance to create your very own Minecraft Castle.
