Northcroft Lido

Date of Adventure: 25 Apr, 2025

Northcroft Lido in Newbury caused quite the buzz last year after a £5 million refurbishment, and its first full summer season in operation got rave reviews! Check out this cool video to see it in all it’s glory!

It’s back with more of the same:

💦 six metre high spiral flumes
💦 three metre high racer slides
💦 interactive splash pad
💦 50m heated pool (heated to 25°)
💦 decking area
💦 colourful beach huts
💦 hoist and accessible changing room
💦 Graduated steps

The leisure centre it’s attached to is also getting a revamp to the tune of £4.6m, set to be completed by June this year, and includes a café and improved soft play area too.
