"We're thrilled to announce that The Great Western Brick Show is back! Celebrating TWENTY YEARS of amazing shows by members of Brickish - a UK Lego User Group," an announcement on STEAM's Facebook post said. 

"We're looking forward to this just as much as you are!"

The event was previously known as the Lego Show, but trademarking issues with the Danish company that makes Lego meant that it could no longer be that. From its 17th year in 2018, it's name was changed to the Great Western Brick Show.
