How do I prepare for a sauna?

A good sauna session will make you sweat a lot! Please shower and clean your feet before going in, as sauna etiquette encourages sweating from a fresh body. Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after your session. Bring a water bottle and a clean towel to sit on inside the sauna and slide on shoes if you have them.

How should I use my sauna session?

Listen to your body. When you start feeling too hot, step outside to cool down in the fresh air or water before returning for another round. Most people enjoy 10-15 minutes of heat followed by cooling breaks, repeating the cycle two or three times.

What should I bring?

• A clean towel to sit on inside the sauna

• A refillable water bottle for hydration

• Swimwear or comfortable sauna attire

• Flip-flops or easy slip-on shoes

• A robe or warm layers for when you step outside

Can I book a private session?

Absolutely. Just get in touch at kt@stoneandsteam.co.uk with your name, the number of guests, and how long you’d like the session to be.

Private sessions work beautifully for birthdays, hen dos, corporate gatherings, and wellbeing retreats.

How do you keep the saunas clean?

We ask all guests to bring their own clean towel to sit on. Our saunas are cleaned using environmentally friendly methods after each session. Additionally, the high temperatures (up to 100°C) naturally provide a semi-sterilising effect, we bake our sauna at the end of each day. 

Are you insured?

Yes, Stone & Steam Wild Community Sauna has public and product liability insurance. 

How many people can the sauna hold? 

Our mobile sauna comfortably fits up to 16 people for public sessions.

For private events such as birthday parties or hen dos etc, the sauna can hold up to 18 people at a time. Guests can rotate in and out throughout the session, making it ideal for both smaller gatherings and larger groups.

Do you provide a host during the session?

Yes — a trained sauna host is present to tend the fire, guide, share heat therapy knowledge, and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Is sauna safe for everyone?

Most people can enjoy the sauna, but it’s not recommended for those who are pregnant, have serious cardiovascular conditions, or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If in doubt, please consult your doctor before use.

Do you offer cold plunge or cooling options?

Yes we have a spacious cold plunge and high pressure showers.
