Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible sauna and cold plunge to everyone in Glasgow.

Interior of a wooden sauna with benches, wooden walls, a wood stove, and a colorful stained glass window.

We’ve built a thriving community hub in the heart of Pollokshields, and Scotland's first wheelchair-accessible sauna.

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 hand-built horsebox sauna.

Hidden down a quiet dead-end street behind next to some tenement flats, it's a wee world of its own, five minutes from the train station and Subway.

A standard session costs £12, and includes access to the sauna and cold plunges.
