The next Friends of Jesus Green Lido Bring & Share Lunch will take place on Sunday 9th August and will feature the latest performance by the pool’s very own synchronised swimming team: The Centenary Cygnets.

Everyone is welcome. The Centenary Cygnets will be performing at 12:15pm – with the pool closed to other swimmers for a 30-minute window from 12pm to 12:30pm.

The Bring & Share Lunch will take place from 12pm to 2pm and is as relaxed as it sounds. Swimmers are invited to prepare a dish (sweet or savoury) and to bring it to the pool to enjoy with others. It’s a great chance to meet new people, find out about the Friends volunteer group and charity, and just generally soak up the community spirit at the lido.
