Experience the enchanting allure of a full moon swim at Shaftesbury Lido, Dorset's only lido. Nestled in the heart of Shaftesbury, this cherished council-run facility offers a unique setting for an invigorating swim under the moonlit sky.
Each full moon carries its own story and energy, and our swims are designed to align with these themes, offering you the perfect opportunity for connection, reflection, and renewal.

The August full moon is known as the Sturgeon moon. Because it is named after one of the oldest and most primitive fish species, some astrologers believe that it spiritually signifies strength and resilience.

Shaftesbury Lido is a 25-yard open-air pool managed by Shaftesbury Town Council and staffed by a dedicated team of fully qualified lifeguards. During the summer months, the pool is heated to 29 degrees, providing a warm and welcoming environment for swimmers of all ages.

Let the full moon inspire you. We look forward to seeing you at Shaftesbury Lido!
