Banksy's 'Dismaland' set to shock

Welcome to "Dismaland" - where all your nightmares can come true. Banksy is notorious for his satirical and sometimes cutting art works, but with his "Bemusement Park" in Weston-Super-Mare he's turned it up a notch. Highlights include a dead Cinderella surrounded by paparazzi. Make sure to take home one of the souvenir balloons, which read: "I'm an imbecile."

Set in the Tropicana - a former lido on the beachfront - "Dismaland" takes a critical look at the superficiality of western culture with its many outrageous exhibits, including this toilet roll bench. Other highlights include a sculpture of a pensioner being mauled by seagulls - an explicit reference to the much-reported recent "seagull epidemic" in the UK.

What's a theme park without a merry-go-round? Sadly this ride isn't suitable for children, however, as the bulk of the horses have been "barbequed" to make a bulk lasagne - a nod to the horse meat scandal in the UK a few years back.

Banksy - whose iconic graffiti art frequently commands many hundreds of thousands of euros - explained of the theme park: "I guess you'd say it's a theme park whose big theme is theme parks should have bigger themes." "Dismaland" comes complete with its very own model nuclear mushroom cloud, created by Australian-born sculptor Dietrich Wegner.

As well as works by the notoriously secretive Banksy, the open-air exhibition includes contributions by Damien Hirst and Jenny Holzer. "Dismaland" opens to the general public on Saturday, August 22 - and runs until September 27.
