Immerse Yourself: Wood-Fired Wild Trailer Sauna by the Seaside
VIEW DATES
Overview
Step into our wild sauna at South Bay, Scarborough — heat, steam and sea air in one of the best spots on the coast. This is an enjoyable, joyful way to spend time. Yes, sauna is great for your body and your head, but just as important is the atmosphere that’s grown here over the years. There’s laughter, easy chat, quiet moments, and that shared feeling of doing something good for yourself — together. Inside the sauna you’re wrapped in warmth while the waves roll in outside and the gulls do their thing. You heat up, relax, sweat a bit, then head out to cool down in whatever way feels right. Fresh air, a wander, a splash, or a short, bracing dip in the North Sea if you fancy it. There’s no pressure and no rules. Stay hot, go cold, repeat, or simply sit back and enjoy being warm by the sea. People leave smiling, looser, lighter — properly recharged. Cold water dipping is always optional and entirely your own choice, taken at your own pace and discretion. Come and enjoy it — a shared seaside sauna experience that’s lively, welcoming, and quietly addictive.

Wild Sauna on a Trailer!
We start with a gentle 10-15 minutes in the sauna, gradually increasing the heat. As your core temperature rises and you begin to sweat, we take a refreshing break to cool off.
After cooling for a few minutes, we dive back into the sauna. We repeat this for an hour.
Your safety and comfort are our priority, as our experienced team carefully monitors the heat.
In just one hour, you'll experience invigorating sauna rounds, interspersed with revitalising breaks.
Sea dipping is at your own risk
Cold plunger
To cool down, you have two options: Either relax outside the sauna or take a invigorating cold water plunge.
If you choose the plunge, we recommend a gradual approach to help your body adjust. Start by wading into the water gently, allowing your body to acclimate. Once up to your waist, take a deep breath through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth, and gently submerge your body, sitting on the floor. Remember, there's no need to go beyond your depth for the full plunge experience.
However, please note that entering the water is at your own risk.
Tickets
5AM The hushed session
This session leans towards silence, or at least soft, low conversation. We ease into the heat rather than going straight in hot, gradually building to full temperature over the first 20–30 minutes.
6AM
One of the best feelings ever. That moment when the heat sinks in, your shoulders drop, your breathing slows, and everything just feels easier.
7AM
Find solace by the stove's gentle crackle.
8AM
You are gonna feel so good!
9AM
While the world whirls in chaos, here's to finding peace.

The famous but underrated south bay of Scarborough
South Bay has something magical about it. That curve of coast catches the first light just right—pinks, golds, and fire-orange streaks dancing on the sea while the castle watches from above. Most mornings it’s still as anything—no wind, just the hush of waves and the odd gull overhead. This bay dodges the swell that batters the rest of the coast, so we get more calm, flat days than anywhere else round here. The sea can be like glass at sunrise. People come just to see it. It’s a moment that makes you stop, breathe, and feel like everything’s exactly as it should be.
Trip Tips
Bring 2 towels, 1 to sit on and 1to to get dried with.
For hygiene and comfort reasons.
Bring a bottle of water
You will sweat a lot and so bring some water... with maybe a crunch of sea salt in for hydration.
Wear swimming cozzie underneath
To save time when you get here just wear your cozzie underneath.
Be gentle and don't go out of your depth
If you do decide to have a dip , please be gentle on yourself, go in slowly and incrementally. Then when you are up to your waist slowly submerge. There is no need to go out of your depth. You go in the sea at your own risk.
Wrap Up Warm!
Bring plenty of baggy clothes to get back into once you are finished. Maybe a changing robe for modesty!
Head torch or torch
If you are attending a session before or after dark it might be helpful for you to bring a head torch or torch. We do have lights, but it is best to have your own personal torch if you have one!
FAQs
What Should I Do in a Sauna?
We recommend simply doing the sauna what traditional sauna-ers have long done: nothing. Just sit there. Let your mind go. Do some reflecting while your thinking is still sharp; meditate when your mind starts going blank. Just be.
We will have a guided meditation and breathwork if the feeling is right.
It is also Ok to chat- this is your session and gift to yourself.
What Should I Do After I Sauna?
During your sauna session, you’ll lose a lot of water through your sweat — up to four cups during a twenty-minute session! Be sure to rehydrate with plenty of water afterward. Supplement with electrolytes as needed.
We would also recommend to just go easy on yourself. You will be in a state of high vibration and relaxation. You want to be in that state as long as possible so stay away from stressful or negative situations, people or media.
What Should I Bring?
Bottle of water. Towl. Bag for putting clothes in while you are in the sauna. Dress in something loose and comfy with bathing costume underneath. We are just in bathing costume in the sauna then in and out of the sea (if you wish). Afterwards it's a case of getting back into your clothes again a bit wet, so consider a dressing gown/towel/ dry robe for modesty.
I do not want to go in the sea
That is absolutely fine there is no pressure at all to go in the sea! You can stay in the sauna as long as is comfortable and just take breaks out in the air.

Mitochondria – More Than Just a Throwback to School(…and why you should care about them now)
Most of what we learn from the school curriculum? Utterly useless. Let’s be honest – no one’s sitting at their desk crunching algebra or referring to a textbook on oxbow lakes when making real-life decisions. Pythagoras? Great if you’re into triangles or arguing with people in comment sections, but otherwise… not exactly useful. But – and there is a but – I did a biology poster presentation back in the early '90s with my old mate David Brady. The topic? Mitochondria. Back then, it was just another box-ticking school project. But now, all these years later, it’s come back around in a totally different way. Because it turns out those weird little blobs floating in your cells that no one really cared about are actually kind of a big deal. Especially if you’re into health, vitality, cold dips, saunas, breathwork, or just not feeling knackered all the time.
