ILKLEY Lido marks its summer season re-opening this Saturday with a fun day.

The Bradford Council-run pool was recently voted one of the top ten best open air pools in the country by The Guardian and boasts views of Ilkley Moor.

The family fun day will include stalls, face-painting and activities, as well as the outdoor and indoor pools.

The Lido, which was built in 1935, 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. There is also a cafe, tennis courts, putting green and bowling green.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Executive Member for Environment, Sport and Culture, at Bradford Council, said: "Ilkley Lido is a great place for a family day out with its wide range of activities and its location, close to Ilkley town centre and on the edge of the beautiful Ilkley Moor. In good hot summers, it has been known to attract up to 50,000 visitors."

The summer opening event runs from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and costs £2 per person. Season tickets for the lido are also now on sale and cost £125 for adults and £62.50 for children and senior citizens.
