We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Spend an hour beside Ellerton Lake in a converted wood-fired horsebox sauna, with optional dips in the spring-fed water. Sessions are capped at eight people per hour so the lakeside setting stays calm and unhurried.
Settle into the horsebox sauna as the wood stove builds heat. Pour water over the hot stones when you want a burst of steam, then step outside into cool air or take a refreshing lake dip. Within the hour you choose how often to move between hot and cold.
This contrast routine is a simple way to support circulation, ease muscle tension and clear your head. Guides keep the atmosphere calm whether it is your first sauna or a regular practice. All important session details travel with your ticket email.
Ellerton Lake sits near Richmond with clear spring-fed water, woodland edges and open sky. The horsebox sauna is set lakeside rather than in a town-centre spa.
Allow time to find the meeting point using the pin in your confirmation email.
Open to beginners and people returning to sauna practice. You should be comfortable outdoors beside open water and happy to follow safety guidance on the day. Share any relevant health considerations before you enter the heat or the lake.
Sessions are capped at 8 people per hour inside the horsebox, so there is room to move between sauna, air and water without feeling hurried. This is a true lakeside setting, not a spa room.
Aaron and the team host nature-based contrast sessions with clear ticket notes and practical kit guidance, so you know how to arrive prepared.

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.
Swimwear, a towel to sit on inside the sauna, water shoes or flip flops, warm layers for afterwards and a water bottle are the essentials.
A robe or dry robe is optional but useful in cooler weather. Bring suncream or a hat in warmer weather.
Outdoor sessions can be affected by extreme weather. Where conditions make it unsafe to run, the session may be postponed and rollover credit offered 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.
A refreshing dip in the spring-fed lake is part of the contrast therapy offer, 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, and ask the team if you are unsure.
For Adventuro bookings, cancellations follow the Firm policy: full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before the booking, 50% between 7 and 14 days, and the full amount thereafter.
Partner terms may also describe rollover credit when a session is postponed for extreme weather. Read both your Adventuro booking terms and the confirmation email.
Yes. The session runs in a converted Rice horsebox sauna beside the lake, with a wood-burning stove and traditional hot stones.
With only 8 spaces per hour, it stays calmer and more personal than a larger riverside cabin or spa suite.
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 lakeside time, shared with a calm group rather than a noisy party atmosphere.
About the centre
Richmond
Led by Aaron, a qualified breathwork guide, coach, and facilitator in meditation and nature therapy, the work focuses on helping people reconnect more deeply with themselves and with the outdoors. Practices draw on yoga, breathwork, meditation, wild saunas, cold water dips, and time in nature, offering grounded ways to regulate the nervous system and find calm.
Sessions and events are shaped around conscious living as something practical and accessible, whether someone is feeling burnt out, a little lost, or simply wants to feel more grounded and present. The aim is to create welcoming space in wild and beautiful places for community, clarity, and a reset that lasts beyond the day itself.
Operated by The Conscious Self, a partner of adventuro.
