Ilkley Pool and Lido Community Group

Directions Website Contact the organisation

Ilkley Pool and Lido Community Group Founded in 2008, FOIL is run for and by those who love the Lido and want to support, protect and improve this fantastic facility.

The Friends of Ilkley Lido (FOIL) exists to ensure that the Lido is protected and improved for the enjoyment of all and that it is preserved for use by many generations to come. We aim to provide a strong voice for Lido users and to play a leading role in promoting and improving the Lido for the benefit of the local and wider community. We work with Bradford Council and many other organisations and groups, raise funds, organise events and activities to broaden use of the Lido, link with other local friends groups and outdoor pools around the country to share ideas, help to publicise and promote the Lido, input to future planning and much more. Plus of course we all enjoy the Lido, frequently meeting up for a dip and chat!

A great Ilkley Literature Festival event on Tom Fort’s book Lido Land. It really emphasised all the reasons we exist as a Community Group and lovely to see so many of members there. Lots of coverage and discussion on Ilkley Lido - including a line many of us would get behind “heated lidos are for softies”!
