NEW CGI images have revealed what a major leisure redevelopment could look like.
The £12.5 million transformation of Droitwich Spa Lido aims to revitalise the historic site with modern facilities while preserving its character, as part of a wider health and wellbeing investment in the town.
Plans include the restoration of the Art Deco building, a new spa, and a larger brine bath—marking the return of a facility that has been absent from the town for the first time in 20 years.

A snack kiosk is also planned for the south end of the site.

“We genuinely appreciate you sharing your views and will carefully reflect on all the feedback we received as we continue to refine the design ahead of submitting a planning application this autumn.”
The development aims to enhance the Lido’s long-term sustainability and year-round appeal.
Upgrades are also necessary to address ageing infrastructure, with an estimated £6 million needed just for essential repairs to keep the facility operational.
The project has been shaped with support from the Wychavon Economic Development team, the Droitwich Spa Place Board, the design consultants One Creative, and the project management firm Gleeds.
Public engagement has played a central role in refining the plans.
An event held in November 2024 showed that 86 per cent of attendees supported the proposed improvements.
