Sand sculpture artists from all over the globe came together to hold the annual event on Weston’s beach. The theme for this year was deep sea. Many different sculptures were to be seen including dolphins, divers and even Nemo from the Disney film. Visitors were impressed with the variety and scale of the sculptures and the attention to fine detail.
“This fantastic annual event together with the new pier attractions, is acting to drive up visitor numbers in this once popular tourist resort” said the Major of Weston, Charles Dean.
Many of the sculptures were created by members of the World Sand Sculpting Academy (WSSA), which held lessons for artistic sand sculpting on the Weston-super-Mare beach for the duration of the event.
As you enter the beach you get a full view of Weston-super-mares seafront which includes the spectacular new big wheel attraction.
The local mayor who attended the event said: “It’s a wonderful occasion that brings talented artists from around together in our humble town and we are proud to be able to host this event year after year.”
After last years event where one of the sculptures was destroyed by the weather, this years sculptures have been coated with an extra hard substance to prevent damage.
