Artists at work at Sandworld indoor sand sculpture park, Weymouth, Dorset, Britain - 06 Apr 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Geoff Moore / Rex Features ( 1304433n )
Work Begins On UK's First Indoor Sand Sculpture Park
A group of artists have started work at what will be the UK's first indoor sand sculpture park.
Sandworld at Weymouth in Dorset will be home to 10.5m high sand creations with a maritime theme
The sculptures are all being created by world-class artists and when the attraction opens members of the public will be able to vote for their favorite.
Creator of the winning sculpture will claim the "UK's 1st International People's Choice Sand Sculpture Master" title.
In total Sandworld will utilise over 1,500 tonnes of sand to create its huge 3D models, most of which will be housed under a marquee.
The park is the brainchild of Mark Anderson, who has been creating detailed sand sculptures on Weymouth's sands for years.
Previously Mark recreated Windsor Palace in sand for the Queen during her visit to Weymouth in June 2009.
He even built Britain's first sand hotel to advertise a hotel room booking chain.
And his sand sculpting talent runs in the family, with Mark's grandfather Fred Darrington doing the same thing back in the 20s.
Mark, who will be operating the exhibition with local businessman David Hicks, said: "Sandworld is a natural progression from my seafront exhibition and builds on the worldwide success of sand sculpting events."
Sandworld will be open from the end of April through to October.
It will then return next year when the theme will be the Olympics, as the town will be hosting the 2012 sailing events.
