A special programme events are taking place at Peterborough Lido this weekend to celebrate the venue’s 90th anniversary.

With soulful acoustic sets for early morning swimming, nostalgia from the GB Home Guard Band to full-on soul and funk with Peterborough favourites The Contacts and Groove Cartel, the event is one not to be missed.
The events include:
- Midnight Swim – Friday 7pm – 12:15am
- Fun Family Gala- Saturday 9am – 12pm
- Pool Party and Live Music- Saturday 1pm – 8:30pm
- Easy like Sunday morning- Sunday 7am – 9am
- Happy 90 years Birthday Party- Sunday 9am – 6pm
Sunday visitors can also adorn their finest “swimming related” fancy dress for a chance to win free swimming.
A spokesperson for Vivacity said: “Peterborough Lido’s 90th celebrations have already kicked-off with the early season opening. We are now busy making final preparations for our fun-filled birthday weekend.
"The Lido is a unique venue to host live-music – the pools will be open so visitors can choose to swim, dance or just relax with friends on the terraces, all whilst soaking up the rich heritage of the city’s (and one of the UK’s) most iconic outdoor swimming venues. We are expecting tickets to sell out quickly, so encourage people to book early to avoid disappointment.”
