Families in Basingstoke can head to the Aquadrome on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June 2026 for a free weekend of swimming and water-based activities. The Big Splash Weekend runs from 7am to 4pm both days, with taster lessons and family sessions open to all ages and abilities.
Qualified instructors will run free taster swimming lessons aimed at building water confidence in a relaxed setting. The centre’s Lagoon Pool, with its rapids, baby beach, interactive water features and slides, will be available as part of regular pool access throughout the weekend. A spokesperson for Basingstoke Leisure said the event was designed to welcome everyone, whether dipping a toe in for the first time or looking for a family day out.
Booking for sessions can be made through the Basingstoke Leisure website, where the online timetable shows available slots. The Aquadrome is on Worting Road, RG22 6PG, and is run by Basingstoke Leisure, which operates the three-pool facility as a community hub for swimming and fitness in the town.
