Plymouth is home to a vast variety of restaurants with al fresco dining facilities. Whether you're by the hustle and bustle of The Barbican, the sumptuous views of Sutton Harbour, the historic and iconic Plymouth Hoe or even the gorgeous Royal William Yard, there are plenty of places to dine in the sunshine this weekend!

Popular swimming pools re-open

This weekend sees the long-awaited return of two of Plymouth's outdoor pools. Both Tinside Lido and Mount Wise Swimming Pools re-open on Saturday 25 May for the summer season. 

Tinside is one of Plymouth's treasures with its fantastic location right on the waterfront below Smeaton's Tower. Swim in the saltwater pool or chill out on the sun deck in what is considered one of Europe's top ten outdoor pools. 

Pre-booking is advised via the Plymouth Active website.

Keen swimmers can also take a plunge at Mount Wise Swimming Pools which open on the same day. Here there are three pools which vary in size and depth, making it the perfect family destination overlooking the River Tamar to Cornwall. Furthermore, the pools are free to visit!

Final Chance to see Exhibitions at the Box 

Two exhibitions are heading into their final week at The Box, Plymouth's award-winning museum. Both John Akomfrah: Arcadia and Yinka Shonibare: End of Empire are fascinating exhibitions at the museum but come to an end on Sunday 2 June! The museum and all its exhibitions are free to attend making it a great day out if you're on a budget.
