Hilsea Lido is Portsmouth’s historic outdoor swimming pool, reimagined as a lively destination for wellbeing, recreation and community. Its 67-metre open-air pool offers invigorating swims in a distinctive setting, with flexible options including memberships, pay-as-you-go visits, coaching, family swims and other activities. Weekday walk-ins are welcome, so visitors can enjoy a swim without booking ahead.

Beyond the pool, Hilsea Lido provides sauna sessions, a splashpool and family-focused experiences, alongside events designed to bring people together throughout the year. Its food and drink offering includes meals, coffee and sweet treats, giving guests a place to refuel or relax during their visit. The venue also offers flexible pool hire, from individual lanes to the full pool, for clubs, groups and organisations.

Hilsea Lido describes itself as a year-round holiday at home and a vibrant social community. Sustainability is part of its regeneration and daily operations, with an ongoing commitment to making improvements. Visitors can find practical information, contact the team, share feedback and sign up for updates about events and new sessions.
