F1 Writing Workshop & Swim with Cathy Rentzenbrink

It is well documented that swimming in a natural environment can stimulate the senses, soothe the soul and spark creativity. This inspiring hour-long workshop with acclaimed writer Cathy Rentzenbrink, will give you impetus and encouragement, followed by an hour to have a revitalising swim in the majestic setting of Britain’s oldest lido, Cleveland Pools included in the ticket price.

Your ticket includes tea/coffee & biscuits

Please note that at the time of printing, Cleveland Pools is closed due to flooding. The pools’ operators Fusion Lifestyle and the Cleveland Pools Trust are working to restore normal operations as swiftly as possible, although the timeframe for the cleanup cannot be guaranteed due to varying flood levels and post-flood weather conditions. Bath Festivals will be reviewing the situation during the run-up to the festival - we have a back-up venue lined up should it be necessary and should a decision need to be made to change venues we will let ticket holders know as early as possible and ticket holders will also be given the option to exchange or refund their tickets at that stage.
