Banksy's Dismaland on the seafront at Weston-super-Mare is being dismantled after a hugely successful five week run. 155,000 visited the exhibition which is thought to have brought a £20 million boost to the town's economy. The wood from the exhibits is being taken to Calais to make shelters for the refugees.
It may be one of the most Dismal experiences in the region, but Banksy's Dismaland is still drawing thousands of visitors to Weston. Today (Sun) the queue for tickets began earlier than normal, because today is the final chance to see behind the walls of the old Tropicana and all the exhibits on offer.
Since the attraction opened 5 weeks ago more than 150,00 visitors have been to see the mysterious exhibition.
A fire-ravaged Disney-style castle has been the star attraction of the secret exhibition as well as a Punch and Judy style exhibition with references to Jimmy Savile.
Dismaland also included a cinema, circus tent and amusement arcade - all with unique twists.
It's estimated that the exhibition boosted the tourism industry in Weston-super-Mare, by an estimated £20 million in the time it was open.
Numerous famous faces visited the 2.5 acres site, including Ant and Dec, Jude Law, Neil Patrick Harris, Russell Brand and Jack Black.
Work has started to dismantle the most successful one-off attraction in Weston-super-Mare's history.
Banksy revealed all the timber and fixtures from his so-called Bemusement Park will be sent to the camp which is home to thousands.
A masked Ball at Dismaland last night featured Kate Tempest, Leftfield & De La Soul & a cameo appearance from Blur frontman Damon Albarn.
