BECCLES LIDO LIMITED

The charity operates a heated, open-air swimming pool for 15 weeks of the year (end-May to mid-September) and, in February 2012, acquired the freehold of Beccles' Public Hall & Theatre. Both facilities provide the community with, in the case of the pool, healthy outdoor activity and for the Public Hall, a place where the community can meet and enjoy theatrical and other entertainments.
