Sauna in the traditional way — wood-fired, well-ventilated and deeply warming. This outdoor sauna is set beside Mytholmroyd Community Centre in the Calder Valley, offering a relaxed, community-led sauna experience with beautiful hill-top views. Built in a vintage horse box style, the sauna is eco-minded, off-grid, and heated by a wood-burning stove for a steady, enveloping heat. Cold-water options are available on site, including showers, barrels, and a vintage-style bath. Plunges use tap-cold water, meaning temperatures are naturally seasonal — cooler in winter, milder in summer — just as they are in Finland. If cold immersion isn’t for you, guests are welcome to cool off outdoors instead. Sessions are friendly, inclusive, and beginner-welcoming, making this an ideal place to experience sauna whether it’s your first time or part of a regular ritual. Community centre facilities are available for sauna users, including free parking, indoor changing rooms, and showers. With cafés, bars, and riverside walks nearby, it’s easy to make a day of it. 🕒 Session Times & Booking Sauna sessions run at fixed times set by the host.

Usage Guidelines

• This is a wood-fired sauna and can become extremely hot. Please treat the stove and chimney with care and do not touch them. • Jewellery or metal items should be removed before entering the sauna to prevent burns. • Alcohol, smoking or vaping are not permitted in or around the sauna. • Essential oils, body oils, lotions or other products are not allowed unless agreed with the host. • Food is not permitted inside the sauna. • Bring water and stay well hydrated throughout your session. • Always sit on a towel while in the sauna. • The top bench is the hottest — lower benches are cooler. Rotate seats as needed. • Take breaks whenever you like. Cool off outdoors, shower, or plunge if appropriate. • Cold-water plunges use tap-cold water and are seasonally variable. • Listen to your body and leave the sauna if you feel uncomfortable — regular sauna use builds tolerance over time. • Enter and exit the sauna carefully and move slowly, especially after heating.
