The Guardian

1
The Galleries
Dismaland ® boasts three large galleries which together comprise the finest collection of contemporary art ever assembled in a North Somerset seaside town.
2
Model Village
Jimmy Cauty’s hand crafted miniature world will delight and amaze (and potentially cause seizures in persons sensitive to strobe lighting).
3
Cinderella’s Castle
Step inside the fairytale and see how it feels to be a real princess. Souvenir photos available.
4
Guerilla Island
Features a bus-mounted museum, library, gallery of guerilla art, Comrades Advice Bureau and workshops in how to hack billboards.
5
Ben Long has constructed a stallion entirely from used scaffolding.
6
Water Cannon Creek
An armour plated riot control vehicle built to serve on the streets of Northern Ireland. Equipped with sniper posts, grenade launchers and now – a children’s slide.
7
Mini Gulf
An oil caliphate themed crazy golf course made from the hockey pitch at Cheltenham Ladies college.
8
Giant Pin Wheel
Commissioned by Banksy to power the entire site, it turns out this ecological marvel has trouble charging more than two mobile phones at once.
9
Kids Enclosure
Strictly for the little ones – an area that combines soft play and loan shop.
10
Punch and Julie
The infamous Julie Burchill has given this seaside staple a good kicking. Now includes references to Jimmy Savile and Fifty Shades of Grey.
11
Puppets
A puppet revue show constructed entirely from the contents of Hackney skips – it’s ‘Fly Tip Theatre’ by Paul Insect and Bast. Self operated.
12
Jeffrey Archer Memorial Fire Pit
Warm yourself around an authentic real open fire ceremonially lit each day by burning one of the famed local perjurer’s novels.
13
Portrait Artist
Nettie Wakefield renders your likeness in an exquisite pencil drawing, but only the back of your head. Surprisingly revealing.
14
Picnic Area
The humble picnic table proves a rich source of artistic ammunition for American furniture twerker Michael Beitz.
15
Cinema
Truck-mounted outdoor screen playing a rolling program of short films day and night. Cushions not provided.
16
Circus Tent
A gothic sculpture park in a tiny big top tent.
