ILKLEY Lido reopens for summer this Saturday and will mark the occasion with a family fun day.

There will be stalls, face-painting and activities, as well as the outdoor and indoor pools to enjoy.

The summer opening event runs from 10am to 5pm and costs £2 per person.

Bradford Council-run Ilkley Lido, which was built in 1935, was recently voted one of the top ten best open air pools in the country and boasts views of Ilkley Moor.

It has a 45-metre stretch of shallow water and slide for children, a fountain pool and a lagoon-shaped pool for swimmers.

There is also a cafe, tennis courts, putting green and bowling green.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, executive member for sport and culture, 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."

Season tickets for the lido are also now on sale and cost £125 for adults and £62.50 for children and senior citizens.
