Passes can be used for Lane Swims and Swims throughout the 2026 summer season. Adult passes can also be used for 50+ sessions.

They're valid until 31st August 2026 and are a great way to save if you swim regularly.

We currently have a small number of bumblebees or solitary bees that have taken up temporary residence above the entrance doors to the Lido.

Both species rarely sting or attack people or animals and, as they are important pollinators, should be left alone.

It is very likely they will disappear again within the next month, and we hope they will not cause any inconvenience. If you have any concerns, please speak to a member of staff.

Thank you.

🌕
The first heated full moon swim of the year and it is looking like it might be a clear night. Come and swim under the stars and the Blue Moon.

This May Blue Moon is the last to occur after the Spring Equinox, also called the Vernal Equinox. It marks the second full moon of the month and the year’s smallest micromoon. Despite its name, the Blue Moon will not appear blue; the term refers to its rarity rather than colour. Its micromoon status means it will appear slightly smaller than a typical full moon, about 12–14% smaller than a supermoon and roughly 7% smaller than an average full moon.

• Doors open at 9:00pm
• Sunset is at 9:14pm
• Last entry is at 10:15pm
• Doors close at 10:30pm

Head over to our booking page to save your space.

See you there!
