On the morning of August 25, tens of thousands of people rushed to the Dismaland website to try their luck bagging a highly sought-after ticket for street artist Banksy's latest theme art exhibition in Weston-super-Mare. Just an hour after the first batch of Dismaland Bemusement tickets were available, they had sold out.

Featuring more than 50 pieces from artists from all over the world, the exhibition is nestled in the seaside resort's previously disused Tropicana Lido. Alongside the artwork, Dismaland is hosting a series of Friday night music slots (including performances from Sleaford Mods, Massive Attack and, if the rumours  circulated by Portishead's Geoff Barrow are true, Fatboy Slim). 

To find out more about Dismaland and the release of the next batch of tickets (they're currently sold out until September 15) go to the Dismaland website
