Long queues formed outside the popular attraction this morning, as families enjoying the start of the school summer holidays looked for a refreshing dip to cool down. But at 1pm, Vivacity, who run the Lido, said: “We have reached full capacity at Peterborough Lido which means that we will not be letting anyone else in unfortunately.”
