Nestled in the back of the Bowling Green, Glasgow Community Sauna is a queer-led community project making the benefits of sauna and cold plunge affordable and accessible to everyone in a natural and cosy setting.

What We’re Building

Since March, we’ve been transforming an horse box into a mobile community sauna.

Alongside it we are building:

  •  Cold plunge baths

  •  A cosy fire space and relaxation area 

  •  Accessible Changing facilities

  •  A pond to collect plunge water and encourage biodiversity (frogs!)

We’re more than just a sauna, working in partnership with Bowling Green Together, we want to enhance the space by welcoming more people to the Bowling Green, especially during the colder months

Our Build So Far

  1. We started out with a 30 year old horse box, covered with rust and rot.

  2. After 2 months of Re-building the walls, cleaning and grinding off all the rust, we had ourselves a shiny frame!

  3. Then Insulation and Vapour Barrier came in. 

  4. And Cladding with special sauna wood.

  5. Finally the fun part, painting the horse box!
