dig a hole, that size, fill it with sand to an inch at the bottom, then check for any sharp pieces, get pond liner drape it over th pond and fill it up and the water will make the liner droop into the hole.

What temp is tank its in?
If your living in the UK probably not a good idea to put fancy goldfish in the pond they need sub tropical conditions 18-22C which wouldn't be the case for 3/4 of the year.
