Cheltenham Lido Opening Day
Saturday 28 March 2026
The wait is over: Cheltenham Lido reopens for the 2026 season on Saturday 28 March, with a special Opening Day celebration.
For one day only, entry is just 2p, a nod to the historic admission price when the pool first opened.
Visitors can be there for the first splash of the year, whether it’s an early-morning swim, a cold-water dip, or soaking up the atmosphere from poolside.
Friends are welcome, layers are recommended, and this much-loved Opening Day tradition is the perfect way to start the outdoor swimming season in Cheltenham.
Whether you’re after a refreshing swim, family fun, or a touch of history, Cheltenham Lido offers a perfect day out for all ages.
