Swimming Pools in the Garden: A Symposium in partnership with the Garden Museum - Sunday 31st May 2026, 10.30am-4.30pm
Join the Garden Museum and Buscot Park for a special day exploring the rich history of pools in British gardens and landscapes. From 18th-century ornamental designs to the naturalistic pools of the late Victorian era and the glamour of the 1920s and ’30s, our speakers will trace how these watery spaces shaped leisure, architecture, and social life across three centuries.
The symposium takes place in the swimming pool wing added to Buscot Park in the 1930s, a fitting setting for the stories we’ll be telling.
Talks throughout the day will be complemented by guided tours of the house and garden, and a rare opportunity to swim in the pool (at participants’ own risk).
Tickets £80 (£70 for Friends of the Garden Museum and Gardens Trust Members) to include lunch. Full programme and tickets at gardenmuseum.org.uk.
