@ Worthing Lido

‘The Lido Bandstand plays host to a wide range of free live music and entertainment throughout the year with something to suit all.’ The History of The Lido includes: The creation of a new Band Enclosure which ‘cost £25,000 and seated 2184 people. It was opened on 1st August 1925 and the Royal Engineers Band were the first to perform’; Then ‘interest in band music declined and eventually in 1957 the site was converted into an unheated swimming pool and renamed the Lido’; ‘In the Winter of 1989/90 the pool was finally built over and the present day Family Entertainment Centre was developed on the site’; ‘From 2015 onwards the bandstand has been brought back to life with varied programmes of live entertainment held throughout the summer each year’.
