The statue is 1.7 metres tall and took three people 171 hours to build, using more than 30,000 Lego bricks.
She was named ‘Hope’ after a public competition run by Parliament.
Lego Hope is travelling the UK and is making a stop in Hucknall as one of the very few MP’s offices lucky enough to be able to host the statue.
Mr Spencer has written to, and invited, all schools to come and visit Lego Hope, and is actively encouraging any interested constituents to drop by.

Mr Spencer said: “It is fantastic to be able to host Lego Hope in the constituency.
“I hope that this exhibit gives people an opportunity to discover more about the Right to Vote in the UK, and the history behind our democracy
“It has been great to hear from a number of schools already who want to come along and see the statue and find out more about democracy in the UK.”
