In the summer, a typical summer weekend at Ilkley Lido can see around 5,000 people visiting to take advantage of the outdoor facilities at the venue which is one recognised as in the top ten open air pools in the country.
The Lido was built in 1935 and has a 45-metre stretch of shallow water and slide for children, a fountain pool and a lagoon-shaped pool for swimmers. It is surrounded by a grassy area for relaxing on sunny days and has far-reaching views across Ilkley Moor.
There are no plans for an open day event held in previous years.
