This is our next ‘Lido Late’ session, with night swimming and sauna options to enjoy.

Saunas and pool will be open 18:00–21:00. Sauna is bookable in half-hour timed sessions.

Then relax in the open air beside the fire pit or in one of our indoor warm spaces.

The café will be serving a special menu of hot food, including warming chilli and soups, and a range of hot and cold drinks, mulled wine and boozy hot chocolate.

Stay, meet friends, eat, drink and moon gaze!

Please note that you need to be fit and healthy, to the best of your knowledge, to take part in cold water swimming and sauna. Every individual ticket booked will be accompanied by a health note check.

These sessions are only available during special events. Please make sure to book your sauna for the correct event date.

Book a half-hour session in one of our beautiful Finnish-style wooden saunas. All sessions are timed and should be pre-booked.

Please wear appropriate swimwear in the sauna and bring an extra towel to sit on. Practice good hygiene: shower and then dry off before entering the sauna.

The saunas are a short walk across the lawn from the pool, where an outdoor shower will also be found. You are recommended to bring a pair of slip-on shoes such as sliders or crocs to walk comfortably between sauna, pool and changing rooms.

You may come and go in and out of the sauna as you please during your timed session, within safety guidelines. 15 minutes is the longest we recommend you stay inside. Relax between sessions in the open air, or under the shower. Two sauna sessions may be booked consecutively so long as time guidelines continue to be followed.

Sauna and swim bundle special offer! You can combine your sauna with a swim ticket for maximum enjoyment of the whole facility. This gives you the opportunity to dip in the pool between saunas. Please note your dip should be no longer than 2–3 mins between sauna visits. To practise contrast therapy, you should be aiming for the beneficial effects of temperature changes on your body without significantly dropping or raising your core temperature.

If you’ve had a longer swim before your sauna session begins, please warm up gradually using warm layers and a hot drink in one of our warm spaces, before entering the sauna. Never use a sauna to warm up if you are very cold.

Please be aware of the health notes and the risks of cold water immersion and sauna before booking.

You will be required to tick a box at checkout which confirms that you have read and understood the health notes and have referred to a health professional before your visit if you have any medical concerns.
