Nearly 32,000 bricks have already been placed on the recreation of one of Bury St Edmunds’ most iconic buildings by visitors to the cathedral by paying £1 per brick.
There are now sponsorship opportunites available to local businesses and those with a connection to the town and Suffolk.
Marie Taylor-Stent, events and marketing manager at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, said: “We have been so pleased with the response to our Lego project.
“It has given us a chance to reach out to new audiences in a fun but meaningful way. This is an innovative and fun opportunity for local companies to make a connection or reconnect with the cathedral and play their part in the ongoing future of this very special building.

“This would also make a fantastic Christmas, birthday or anniversary present for a true Lego fan.”
Packages are now available to sponsor the font, the bishop’s seat, the five altars within the cathedral and the pews on the Lego model and there are opportunities to suit every budget.
