Tropicana, Weston-super-Mare, Entertainment venue and arts centre on Marine Parade, Weston-super-Mare, England.

The Tropicana features both indoor and outdoor spaces across its seafront location, accommodating large-scale performances, exhibitions, markets, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Built in 1937 as Europe's largest outdoor swimming pool measuring 950 square meters, the Tropicana transformed into a multi-purpose entertainment complex after its reopening in 2015.

The venue gained international recognition in 2015 when artist Banksy selected it for Dismaland, a temporary art installation that drew more than 150,000 visitors.

The facility maintains a licensed Bay Café and lounge area, while offering extensive space for corporate events, charity functions, theater productions, and seasonal activities.

In 2022, the Tropicana displayed SEE MONSTER, transforming a North Sea offshore platform into a 35-meter-tall public art installation that attracted 500,000 visitors.
