Enjoy a sauna at The Forge this winter
Can't feel your toes? Fed up of constantly feeling chilly? Come and warm yourself to the core in our wood-fired Finnish sauna. Guaranteed to defrost you and leave you with an inner glow!
Plus there is evidence to suggest that having regular saunas can reduce blood sugar and insulin levels, depression, heart rate, blood pressure, pain and fatigue, and your risk of heart failure and stroke*. So what are you waiting for?!
There are four ways you can come and enjoy our sauna (and dipping pond if you are feeling brave!) this winter:
1. Thursday Sauna Days
Every Thursday from the 14th November to the 12th December we will be firing up the sauna and taking bookings for our afternoon session from 2-4pm and our evening session from 6-8pm.
It costs £25pp and there are 8 spots available in each session. We recommend 3 x 2 min cold water sessions interspersed with 2 x 15 minute sauna sessions.
As well as the sauna, you will have access to our cold bucket and shower, our wild swimming pond, plus hot showers and changing rooms.
You can book online here.
2. Day Retreats
We have a few day retreats happening at The Forge between now and the end of the year which will incorporate sauna sessions as part of an overall day of wellness and relaxation.
Cariad Yoga will be here on the 17th November.
Claire from The Transformational Project will be here on the 23rd November.
And Chelsea from Loving Life in Wellies will be running a Stretch & Sauna evening here on the 30th November.
Please contact the organisers directly to book.
3. Stay at Bluebell Corner
When you book a stay of two nights or more in our gorgeous vintage gypsy caravan and cabin, Bluebell Corner, you can add on a discounted private sauna session for two people during your stay.
All you need to do is select the sauna option when you book online and then will be in touch directly to arrange your sauna at a time that suits you.
4. Buy a gift voucher
You can now buy a gift voucher which will entitle two people to a private sauna session. You can book online now and the vouchers will be valid until 31st December 2025. You just need to get in touch directly to arrange a time for your sauna.
We look forward to welcoming to our sauna soon!
