The countdown is over as Cheltenham Lido reopens for the 2026 season – and it’s set to be a special one.

To mark the occasion, entry will be just 2p for one day only, a throwback to the original admission price when the Lido first opened. It’s a small nod to the past as the Lido dives into a brand new season.

Saturday 28 March 2026
Open 11am – 6pm

Be there for the first splash of the year - whether you’re an early riser, a cold-water swimmer, or simply there to enjoy the atmosphere from the sidelines. Bring your friends, wrap up warm, and join in this much-loved Opening Day tradition.

You can book tickets online and this is especially advised if you'd like to use the Children's Pool as spaces are more limited.
