Britain's most depressing theme park is closed to the public and will be dismantled and relocated to Calais, France, to provide shelter for refugees.Is Banksy being generous or self promoting?
Dismaland – described by the street artist as "a family attraction that acknowledges inequality and impending catastrophe" - has been extremely successful since opening in Weston-super-mare.
But today builders began dismantling the the depressing theme park after Banksy announced on his website that the timber and fixtures used would be sent to Calais to build shelters for refugees.
There are more than 3,000 men, women and children are living in awful conditions in camps at French port, the majority of them having fled war from countries like Syria, Libya and Eritrea.
