Peterborough Activities

There's so much to do in Peterborough it's hard to know where to start! Maybe a swim at Peterborough Lido? A spot of axe throwing if you're up for something a little more strenuous? How about skydiving or gliding at Crowland Airfield? If sports are not your thing, then why not try cookery, pottery, or art lessons?

The options are endless, but we've picked a few places to go here that highlight Peteborough's cultural heritage, which should get you started. Have fun!
