Newbury has one of the last remaining lidos in the UK. Tourism is one of the main activities in its seven lidos, especially during summer. There are public and private "lidos" offering services such as sunbed, hire, etc. There will also be reimagined lidos, gardens, performance spaces, immersive experiences and observatories. It led to two major conferences in 2006&colon; "Reviving Lidos" and "Making a Splash". Lidos were established for men, women and families and a pier was built.
