I love Banksy as well! They’ll need to put a fence up around it I think!

I love it and I bet Banksy would think it’s a hoot. He’s never thought street art should be “precious”
I love Banksy too, we were so lucky we had Dismaland here, it was an experience I’ll never foget.

Was it on the Old Tropicana site?
We go to Weston quite often. In laws had a static caravan at Breen when kids were younger so spent a lot of holidays there back in the day. Living near Bristol was easy to get to as well
Ooooer you are in big trouble now!

Yes, it was at the Tropicana,
Banksy said:
Banksy said: “I loved the Tropicana as a kid, so getting to throw these doors open again is a real honour.
“I hope everyone from Weston will take the opportunity to once more stand in a puddle of murky water eating cold chips to the sound of crying children.” !
My great uncle had a bungalow at Brean, one of those down the end by the cafe and the the bird zoo
They are going to use the Tropicana again, we’re getting an oil rig this time!

I wondered this too Muddy? Does he get any money from this? Who values this art anyway?
Banksy would probably agree with you, he’s always disliked the idea of street art being permanent or valuable
He once set up a stall in New York and sold some of his stuff anonymously for a pittance. The people who bought it didn’t realise that had something worth thousands and some of it was left over at the end of the day!
“I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached,” he said.
“There is no gallery show or book or film. It’s pointless. Which hopefully means something.” Banksy
