Here at Jaffé & Neale in Chipping Norton, we’re really lucky to have access to our local open air Lido. The pool has been run by local people as a charity since 2004 and describes itself as a ‘pool with a social conscience’, relying on the generous support of the public to maintain this treasured facility.
To help out, we’ve put together a selection of our favourite swim and water themed books – great for summer reading. Purchase any of these titles from our Chipping Norton or Stow shops and we will donate 20% to the Lido.
