Northcroft Lido

Open for first full summer season.

Bathing suits at the ready! Our fabulous Northcroft Lido is open for its first full season following a £5 million refurbishment.

If you like your fun 'al fresco', the Lido is for you. Enjoy the 50m, Olympic length pool, sunshine and fresh air with family and friends, while the kids take playtime to the next level on the splash pad or spiral flume.

Fully accessible, the Lido attracts serious swimmers, sunbathers and self-confessed 'Lido Geeks' (yes, it's a thing!).

The Lido also has history. Records show that the large rectangular outdoor pool originated in the late 19th century and can be seen on the First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping of 1880. The pool was enlarged in 1914 then completely rebuilt and converted to a Lido in 1937, when it was said to be the largest pool in the south of England at 70 metres long!

In 1967, it was transformed into a more organised Lido complex with an adjacent 'baby pool'. You can see some of the Lido's history in pictures here www.westberks.gov.uk/new-newbury-lido

We can't wait to see you there - it's THE place to be when the sun's out, so don't forget to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
