You Can Sauna Social Prescribing - Mamhead Forestry England

You Can Sauna runs wood-fired outdoor sauna and cold plunge sessions in beautiful natural settings across the UK. Our social prescribing offer gives people referred through health and community professionals access to the wellbeing benefits of contrast bathing (hot sauna followed by cold water) at sites surrounded by forest, riverside, or coast.

What to expect in a session:

  • Mixed group booking with other guests
    High-quality, authentic saunas and cold plunges 
    A trained host on site to welcome everyone
  • Calm, social atmosphere 

Regular sauna and cold exposure have been linked to improved mood, lower stress, better sleep, and relief from chronic pain and inflammation. Our hosts are experienced at supporting people who are nervous or new to it.

Sessions are suitable for most adults. We ask anyone with a health condition, such as a heart condition, who is pregnant, or who has had recent surgery to check with their GP first.

We are aiming to open at Mamhead (moving from our current Haldon Forest Park site) in July 2026.
