A life-size figure of a suffragette made from Lego has gone on display at The Courtyard in Hereford.

Hope the suffragette is a 5ft6 (1.7m) model originally created in 2018 and displayed in the House of Commons to mark 100 years since (some) women got the right to vote.

The sculpture is built from 32,327 Lego bricks.

An exhibition is located alongside Hope, celebrating figures who have advocated for diversity in the past

People are encouraged to take pictures with Hope (use the hashtag #StandWithHope if posting on social media), and share their stories and views on suffrage, inequalities and what needs to change.

The exhibition will be on display at The Courtyard until Monday 23rd March 2022.
