Have you ever been curious about what a wild sauna experience is like? Have you thought about trying a heat & cold water therapy session but never quite got around to it? Or just wondering what our little slice of sauna heaven is like?

We are running some shorter communal ‘taster ‘sessions at our Open Day on Saturday 6th June. These take place on the hour, and have a maximum of 6 participants in each

To book:

Click ‘Book’

You will be asked whether you would like to book more than one spot; if you’re booking just for yourself, just click ‘Continue with no additional spots’

If you would like to add a second guest, you will need to enter their name & email address, as we do need a record of, and a waiver signed by, each guest that visits the sauna, for health & safety reasons.

Please note that under 18s are not permitted in communal sauna sessions.

Available communal sauna times will have an asterisk by them if some seats in that session have already been booked.

You will be sent a health information & waiver form; this also includes information on our sauna rules, and what to bring with you on the day (namely two towels, swimwear, water, flip flops or sliders). If you have other questions, you may find the answers on our sauna page FAQ’s
