No outdoor shoes are allowed inside the sauna. We ask that every customer sits on a towel at all times inside the sauna.

Heat therapies have long been used for healing and wellness, dating all the way back to the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Mayans. 

Our barrel sauna is simply a purpose built small room  built onto a flatbed trailer designed specifically to help you sweat. 

Expect the temperature to be hot, it is important to hydrate before well before entering the sauna and on your session.

We recommend spending 5-12 minutes in the sauna before exiting to cool down and rehydrate, especially for those who do not use saunas regularly who should build up tolerance over a few sauna sessions.  

Due to the extreme heat, certain people should avoid using the sauna. 

All persons using the Wild Bathing Sauna do so at their own risk.   We ask that you contact your GP if at all in doubt about safely using the sauna and if any of the following conditions apply to you (this is not an exhaustive list):

- If you’ve had a heart attack or stroke

- You have asthma or breathing 

        conditions

- You have epilepsy or diabetes

- Are pregnant

- Are prone to dizziness or fainting

- Have an infectious disease or
       condition

- Are under the effects of alcohol, illegal 

        drugs or psychoactive substances

- Are generally feeling unwell

All users must inform Wild Bathing of any conditions which may affect their safe use of the sauna to an on-site operator before making use of the sauna.

The Sauna cannot take anyone under the 

age of 16yrs.

If you're looking to book multiple spaces for a mixed sauna you can do this by choosing the number of participants on a drop-down menu when booking.

Where no option to book multiple spaces is available, this means there is only one space left. Please check the number available before booking.

Please note your mixed sauna booking is personal and cannot be shared /split with another person during the session - any person wanting to use the sauna will need to book an individual space.

Please arrive 15 mimiutes before your booked sauna slot to allow time for  a short safety briefing and to fill out any uncompleted sauna consent forms within your party.

Arriving late will shorten the duration of your experience.

The sauna is heated by a Kota wood burning stove using our own hand chopped firewood.

The sauna can reach temperatures up to 100c but it is typically maintained between 70c and  80c

Outdoor conditions such as wind direction and air temperatiure can cause slight variations.

We do not have a dedicated changing area. We recommend arriving in your swimwear, wrapping yourself in your large towel and bringing a small towel for sitting in the sauna. 

The sauna’s entry porch has hooks for hanging your towels. We have a storage box for taking some but not all loose items.

Please refer to your booking confirmation email which gives specfic location and parking information

There will be a storage box outside the sauna for you to leave your outer coat and shoes.

Please note there is limited space in the entrance porch and large robes cannot be stored in there. 

There is only enough space for towels and water bottle (non metal) 

Any overflow of belongings that don't fit in the changing room will need to be left outside.

Yes. You can manage steam that rises from the sauna stove, allowing control of humidity and intensity of the heat. 

Although adding water over the rocks humidifies the session, and is one of the best aspects of an authentic sauna, please remember not to dump water on the rocks.

 Instead, drizzle water on with a ladle intermittently until the heat reaches an appropriate level.

Dumping water on the stove will make the sauna feel hotter momentarily, but is actually counteractive in increasing the temperature of the room as the excessive water will cool down the sauna rocks. 

If you'd like the sauna to be hotter, please ask our member of staff on site and we'll be happy to assist.

A trained member of staff will be nearby at all times for any queries and support you may need managing the heat and the water on the rocks.

Everyone is differnent however it is recommended that sauna use should be limited to once a day, with sessions lasting no longer than 15 minutes at a time.

There is good on foot access down to the beach at the sauna location.

Using a body of water as a ‘cold plunge’ before or after using the sauna is at your own risk; any sauna user who wishes to use a body of water for a cold plunge is responsible for ensuring they are a capable swimmer and can handle exposure to cold temperatures and other potential dangers.

After exposure to cold water do not enter the sauna immediately as there is a risk of dizziness and fainting. 

Transition slowly and acclimatise between the thermal shifts. 

Saunas bathing often claim health benefits that include:

Detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation.

The Sauna is accessed via a wide ramp leading into a small door then internal door into the sauna room itself.

We are able to keep the item for collection for one month.

You can bring your own mobile phone along at your own risk.

Mobile phones are not designed to be used in a sauna and cannot stay in the sauna  as they will overheat which can be dangerous.

It is recommended that you leave it outside on silent to respect other sauna user's experience and not to be used due to privacy respect on shared sessions. 

Take a shower before your sauna session.

Make sure you dry yourself thoroughly to allow your body to sweat more freely.

Lie or sit on your towel.

In your first session, spend no more than 5-8 minutes in the sauna at a time.

Listen to your body and leave to cool down and hydrate regularly.

When concluding your session:

Wipe down your area with your towel.

Make sure you have everything.

Leave slowly and ensure the sauna door is tightly closed before leaving.

By following these steps, you can have a safe and enjoyable sauna experience at the Wild Bathing Sauna.
