Mark and Kayleigh Parsons, from Telford, have experienced an unexpectedly massive turnout for their pop-up Lego cafe, Brick and Beyond. Initially launched as a small venue where visitors could build Lego sets while dining, the cafe has garnered significant public support since opening on Saturday.
The couple, who also manage an airport taxi business, decided to pursue their Lego cafe dream after Mark found solace in building Lego sets to de-stress from their demanding 24/7 taxi operations. Kayleigh, who has ADHD and autism, emphasized the importance of creating a 'safe space' within the cafe for individuals who may have sensitivities or require a more inclusive environment.
