For over 50 years, Askham Open‑Air Swimming Pool has been a much‑loved part of the community. Built by local volunteers in the 1970s and still run by a dedicated volunteer team today, it’s a safe, friendly place for families, children and visitors to enjoy the sunshine and stay active all summer long ☀️💦
The pool is open 16 May – 6 September 2026, set right in the heart of the picturesque village of Askham, complete with village greens and plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by.
