The lido marks its 90th birthday in May

  • Published

Penzance's Jubilee Pool has been basking in spring sunshine ahead of its 90th birthday celebrations, with buoyant bookings thanks to the weather, say staff.

The Art Deco lido opened its gates in May 1935, as part of King George V's Silver Jubilee.

Liz Kay, from the pool team, said: "We're absolutely thrilled and to have this sort of weather at the start of the season. Bookings are looking really good.

"We have had Easters not like this at all and this is just fabulous."
