As part of the National Marine Park’s effort to attract more visitors, important landmarks along Plymouth’s waterfront are getting some attention.

Significant legacy highlights at Tinside Pool, Mount Secure and the Nursery Battery at Mount Edgcumbe Park will get huge yet delicate makeovers intended to revitalize these astounding waterside areas and hotshot these staggering structures and free them up to another age of clients and utilizations, all on account of Public Lottery players.

Following a year of listening to families, communities, history buffs, marine and nature lovers, and water enthusiasts, a number of planning applications and listed building consents will be submitted in the coming weeks as part of an ambitious work package.

The full story of these developments was published on the Plymouth Council website here read about these exciting developments by clicking on the button below.

Proudly putting Plymouth’s stunning fore shore centre stage, ‘Live at the Lido’ welcomes for the very first time Global artists and performers, to one of the most recognisable and beautiful Lidos in the World!

Situated prominently on Plymouth’s beautiful waterfront, and bathed in nearly a century of history and nostalgia, ‘Live at the Lido’ will bring this stunning vantage point to life with music, sun sets, and those incredible panoramic vistas across Plymouth Sound and Drake’s Island.

We are incredibly thrilled to announce this special programme of music events, taking place during July and August, pioneering the use of the Tinside Lido Sun Terrace as never seen before.

Spanning four weekend dates, and the culmination of a city wide collaboration across Plymouth, involving both Cultural and Music sectors, this unique series of events will be taking place at the No.1 outdoor pool in the UK, as listed by Marie Claire Magazine, right here in Britain’s Ocean City.

‘Live at the Lido’ will see Global artists, DJs and Brands such as Todd Terry, Café Mambo Ibiza and Hedkandi, perform alongside the very best of the city’s cultural and musical talent, from the likes of the Barbican Theatre and DancersHip. 

This exciting project has only been made possible by the considerable and collective effort of numerous city institutions, and organisations, such as Plymouth Culture, Plymouth Active, Barbican Theatre, The Box, Plymouth CityBus, The Big Blue Splash and the launch of the National Marine Park.

Meanwhile, platform synchro duo Oleksii Sereda and Kirill Boliukh from the Ukraine are set to compete.
