Music is provided by the excellent Box of Frogs (Linda Game on fiddle and Ali Messer on accordion) with dances and storytelling from local callers Naomi Tiley and Ellie Davies.

Dancing on dry land is always an option for those who prefer not to get in the pool! We recommend Aqua Celidh only for ages 8+ (you need to be a minimum of around 4'7 or 1.4m tall to enjoy dancing in the pool and touch the bottom safely). Deep water options are also available for synchro swimmers (and mermaids).

The cafe and licensed bar will be serving all afternoon and evening, offering delicious hot food, snacks and a range of hot and cold drinks. Food and drink are payable separately.

Book here for the whole event costing £20 adult, Child 8–17 years £12.50 and child 3–7 years £5. Under 3s go free.

The Lido’s famous Dog Swim returns to celebrate the final day of the summer season.

Each canine pays £25 and their human family come in free.

There will be swimming in both pools, chasing round the lawn, plenty of bowls of water and Bonios, and the café will be open for food and drink for the humans too.

Please note that each dog must be accompanied into the water by a responsible owner aged 16+ (other friends and family including children may also swim with their dog).

Lifeguards will be on duty to look after the safety of human swimmers. Dog owners are responsible for the welfare of their dogs in and out of the pool. This is a busy action-packed event and may not be suitable for nervous dogs or their humans.
