Lido Love is your annual one-night-only arts extravaganza at London’s number one Lido in London Fields, Hackney

Highlighting the hidden history of this remarkable pool, this year we bring you enchanting floating light installations on the pool by Emily Tracey, participatory theatre from Bad Physics, Cardioke shower raving with The House of Hot Breath, the original Lido band Bon Bon Kaotikai, artist performances from Doug Fishbone and Patrick Coyle, a fancy photo-shoot opportunity with Riitta Ikonen, a chance to learn some synchronised swimming – without getting wet – with Figs in Wigs, Hilary Powell’s beautiful lido film, a human game of Scrabble, and much more!

Building on the sell-out success of previous years 2010 and 2011, this year’s one-night festival is bigger than ever thanks to support from Arts Council England.

Ticket prices are frozen at £5 each but given this year’s programme they are expected to sell out fast. Wrap up warm and join us! (Please note, no swimming or alcohol).
