Located in the picturesque town of Arundel, Arundel Lido is the only remaining Lido in West Sussex. Situated in the South Downs National Park, this outdoor swimming facility offers heated pools in a stunning setting.
But Arundel Lido is more than just a swimming pool. The term “Lido” originates from the place in Venice where bathing took place, and in line with this tradition, our Lido offers a range of facilities designed for activities around water. In addition to swimming, visitors can enjoy areas for sunbathing, relaxing, and even dining.
Operated by a Charitable Trust, Arundel Lido boasts a dedicated Lido Manager and a team that is committed to ensuring visitors have an enjoyable and safe experience. Summer typically runs from late April to mid-September, giving locals and tourists ample opportunity to make the most of the warm weather.
Arundel Lido hosts a variety of community activities throughout the year, catering to all ages and interests. From swimming lessons for children to coffee mornings for individuals feeling isolated or those with dementia, the Lido serves as a gathering place for the Arundel community. Local businesses are also invited to participate in monthly sessions to share relevant information and help make Arundel a dementia-friendly town.
For those looking to support the Lido or host events, facilities are available to hire for functions, parties, and other occasions. The scenic surroundings and friendly atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for any gathering.
Arundel Lido also actively engages in charity fundraising events. One such event, “Power at the Lido,” offers participants a unique summer's evening of movement, mindset, and support for The Sussex Snowdrop Trust. This event encourages individuals to immerse themselves in high-energy or calm activities, both in and out of the water, and enjoy spectacular castle views.
The Lido's website provides the latest news and updates, including information on warm spaces in Arun, rookie lifeguard training, and cold swims. Online booking is available for swimming sessions, making it convenient for visitors to secure their spot.
With its stunning location, range of facilities, and commitment to community engagement, Arundel Lido is a cherished destination for locals and tourists alike. Whether you're seeking a refreshing swim, a place to relax and sunbathe, or a venue for your next function, Arundel Lido promises a memorable experience surrounded by natural beauty.
