Cheltenham Lido: A Revolutionary Place

A talk by Dr Jeremy Lake
Dr Jeremy Lake combines academic rigour with hands-on heritage experience. A seasoned public speaker, his work on lidos, landscapes, and built heritage makes him the perfect guide to telling the story of Cheltenham Lido.

Cheltenham Lido is not only one of the best-preserved lidos in Europe – ย it is also a remarkable example of the postโ€“World War I movement toward health, wellbeing, and modern leisure.

In this illustrated talk, Dr Lake will explore:

  • The origins and development of Cheltenham Lido

  • Its place in national and international lido culture

  • The architectural and social history behind its design

  • How outdoor swimming reflects revolutionary ideas in sport, leisure, and social change in the 20th century

๐ŸŽŸ Tickets: From ยฃ4.50 per person
