After the opening of indoor swimming facilities in Cheltenham, the future of the Lido came into question. There were times when the Lido would break even or show a slight surplus, however, after a poor summer in 1982 the Lido faced the first calls to close or to sell the site. [4]
Further enlargements followed in the 1830s and in the 1840s a large swimming pool was established; this was refurbished by the Corporation of Cheltenham when they bought the complex in 1899. The current auditorium is built over this pool and is used as a furniture store; it is shown each September as part of Heritage Open Days.
It is open throughout the year, with shorter hours in winter and is situated in the Long Garden, a stretch of parkland to the south of Pittville Park facing Pittville Lawn. Very near the café, on the corner of Pittville Lawn and Central Cross Drive, originally stood a small spa called Essex Lodge, erected in the 1820s.
