Lido Dance

Dear Lido ! 

Tooting Bec Lido is our local treasure and Dear Lido will be a playful trip back to its heyday.  
It's world cup final day, so before you settle down 
to watch the match, have an afternoon swim and stay til 6.30 to see a performance of dance 
and film by students from Burntwood School who will be  working with professional dancers,
choreographer and multi-media artists to create the performance.

The performance will last approximately ½ hour and will take place during open hours at the Lido. 
Those wishing to attend only the performance, please arrive from 5.45 to the old entrance of the Lido 
where you can purchase your ticket and be taken in to the performance.
