Portsmouth100 talks: Lido Lives screening

Portsmouth Museum & Art Gallery is screening Lido Lives on Saturday 21 November, as part of the Portsmouth100 talks series. It's a community dance film about Hilsea Lido, the pool most of us just call Hilda Lido, and the screening is in the museum's Activity Room.

Lido Lives is built around the Lido's history, its heritage and what it still means to people in Portsmouth. It brought together professional dance artists, community groups, local residents and Portsmouth VIPs to make a joyful, playful, inclusive piece of work inspired by the pool and its place in the city's history. The film is about 30 minutes long, and it's followed by a Q&A, so you'll get to hear more about how it came together after the credits roll.

The screening is one of the talks in the Portsmouth100 series, which is running across the city. If you're already heading into town for it, the museum is also showing the new Portsmouth100 exhibition, so it's easy to make a morning of it and see both. It's a good way to spend a Saturday forenoon if you've got a soft spot for the Lido and want to see it celebrated on screen.

Entry is free and all welcome, so there's no need to book ahead. The screening runs from 10.30 to 11.30 am in the Activity Room at Portsmouth Museum & Art Gallery, with the film itself taking up about half an hour followed by the Q&A.
