Spaceships and aliens will be landing in Weymouth this coming March as ten of the world’s best sand sculptors arrive at Sandworld International Sand Sculpture Park to create some amazing new sculptures on a science fiction theme.
Artistic Director and creator of Sandworld, Mark Anderson said, “As far as we know, there has never been a sci-fi themed sand sculpture event anywhere in the world before, so the sculptors are pretty excited to make something special for us here in Weymouth.”
Sculptures will feature scenes from favourites such as Star Trek and Star Wars, and there will be a tribute sculpture to mark the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who.
Sandworld co-founder David Hicks added, “It has been really quite hard choosing what to include, so we have been asking on Facebook for ideas and chosen the most popular; including some old classics and something for children.”
The artists will be arriving from 7 March and will immediately commence work on the sculptures created from just sand and water.
You can keep up to date with their progress on the Sandworld facebook page (www.facebook.com/sandworld) or www.sandworld.co.uk
Visitors will be able to get close to the jaw dropping exhibits and try their hand at their own creations from 29 March.
