Colston Hall created in Minecraft

By Bristol24/7  Friday Sep 27, 2019

It’s the Colston Hall, but as you’ve never seen it before – built in Minecraft.

Take a wander around the outside of the historic building which has been left empty inside so you can create whatever you want.

“Yes, you might craft a stage and a theatre, but then again, you might have other ideas,” say the team at Tiny Giant who built the model.

“There’s space enough for a million more! Be colourful. Be techy. Be arty. Be cool. It’s entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have a ton of fun!”

Tiny Giant have created the world to highlight the upcoming Bristol Tech Fair, taking place at the real Colston Hall on November 9.

Bristol Tech Fair is part of Bristol Technology Festival, a week-long celebration of the South West’s innovation and ingenuity in the tech space.
