Welcome to Glasgow’s own inclusive, not-for-profit sauna and cold plunge.
Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible sauna and cold plunge to everyone in Glasgow.
We have built a thriving community hub in the heart of Pollokshields and Scotland's first wheelchair-accessible sauna and cold plunge.
We are a not-for-profit community interest company. Through our community collaborations, we offer free sessions and discounted sessions to those in need.
In our first six months, we welcomed over 6,000 attendees to our handbuilt horsebox sauna.
Communal Sauna and Cold Plunge
Come meet your neighbours, make some new friends or have a quiet moment to yourself in our communal sauna sessions.
We have a range of saunas; a 7-seater horse box and a 13-seater mobile accessible sauna. We have chilled and filtered cold plunges, cold outdoor showers, changing areas, lockers, toilets and places to rest and relax in the garden.
Events
We collaborate with our local community of artists, musicians and sauna practitioners to push the boundaries and explore the magic of sauna and its tradition.
Expect listening sessions and parties, Pirts whisking, soundbaths, movement, seasonal Celtic festival celebrations, Aufguss and more!
What We Offer
Community Outreach & Social Prescribing
We are building our ‘social prescribing’ programme through partnerships with local charities and community support groups, the first of its kind in Scotland. We offer free and discounted sessions to those who need it most.

GCS is a brilliant and unique place to celebrate! You can book out our saunas all to yourself - choose from the horsebox, the big sauna or go for the whole site.
Could be for a birthday, a work wellbeing day, a wedding celebration, community gathering or sports club event - get creative!
