Sessions run on Saturdays and selected Sundays through the year. The sauna moves seasonally between Blackling Hole and Oak Tree. Wear sturdy footwear for the walk in. Follow the seasonal meeting point for your date, and do not use the track road near Blackling Hole. ✅ Prerequisites Open to beginners and people returning to sauna practice. You should be comfortable outdoors in a forest water setting and happy to follow safety guidance on the day. Share any relevant health considerations before you enter the heat or the water. ⭐ Why Choose Us Sessions stay small so there is room to move between sauna, air and water without feeling hurried.

Sessions last one hour. That time is yours to move between the wood-fired sauna, cool forest air and waterfall swimming at a pace that feels right for you. There is no fixed circuit you have to follow. Guides are on hand, and the hour is designed to feel calm rather than rushed. ### Where do I meet? Meeting points change with the season. From April to November meet at Blackling Hole Car Park (What3Words ///deliver.unsigned.evolves). From January to April meet at Oak Tree Car Park (What3Words ///risky.obtain.former). Do not go down the track road near Blackling Hole. The entrance is at a T-junction. Your ticket email confirms which site applies for your date. ### How many people are in each session? Capacity is capped at 10 people per hour so the woodland setting stays relaxed. Small groups help the session feel welcoming whether you come alone or with friends. If a date is full, try another Saturday or selected Sunday slot in the calendar. ### Do I need sauna or cold-water experience? No previous sauna experience is needed. The session is marked easy and is suitable for first-timers as well as regular sauna-goers. Move at your own pace between heat and cold, and speak to the team on the day if you want guidance on how to get started safely. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, a towel to sit on inside the sauna, water shoes for waterfall entry, flip flops or sandals around the sauna area, warm layers and a water bottle are the essentials. Wear sturdy footwear for the walk in, as forest ground can be uneven or muddy. ### What happens in bad weather? Outdoor sessions can be affected by extreme weather. Where conditions make it unsafe to run, the session may be postponed and you may receive vouchers to rebook rather than a cash refund, in line with the stated terms. You will be contacted if plans change. Always check your confirmation email for the latest details before setting off. ### Is the waterfall swim compulsory? A waterfall dip is part of the contrast therapy offer where conditions allow, and many guests choose to go in. It is not a pressured swim lesson, and you can step into cool air instead if that feels better. Listen to your body, enter and exit carefully with water shoes, and ask the team if you are unsure. ### What is the cancellation policy? Bookings for this listing are non-refundable. All sales are final. Extreme weather may still lead to a postponement with rebooking vouchers where stated in partner terms. Read both your Adventuro booking terms and the confirmation email. ### Which meeting point should I use? Primary site from April to November is Blackling Hole Car Park (///deliver.unsigned.evolves). Secondary site from January to April is Oak Tree Car Park (///risky.obtain.former). Location choice is disabled on the booking form. Your ticket email confirms which meeting point applies for the date you booked. ### Can I come on my own? Yes. Solo guests are welcome, and the small group format makes it easy to settle in. Couples and friends book into the same hour when space allows. The focus is heat, water and quiet forest time, shared with a calm group rather than a noisy party atmosphere. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/772e706e-203c-4d60-b651-d10f0a8c4a15-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
