Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust Ticket Portal

Nestled within the tranquil gardens of this stately home, our pop-up Garden Sauna invites you to pause and reconnect.

Step into a handcrafted, wood-fired, horsebox sauna, embraced by the garden’s quiet beauty and the rhythm of the natural world.

Between heat sessions, invigorate your senses with a refreshing cold-water shower, designed to awaken the body and deepen the therapeutic experience.

During the rest period, enjoy a complimentary speciality tea in our elegant Camellia House. A serene space to linger, reflect, and gently ease back into your day.

Enjoy, breathe, unwind, and sink into a moment of calm and connection.

The Garden Sauna Experience is an adult only event (18+).

What to do and what to expect:

• You will need to shower before arriving at Wentworth Woodhouse 
• It is best to arrive at least 25 minutes before your session is due to start. There is a ~5 minute walk from the car park to the front desk, followed by a ~15 minute walk to the Camellia House where you will need to receive a short briefing and sign the waiver before your session starts. We cannot extend or amend any session times
• Swimwear must be worn in the Garden Sauna and surrounding are. Please bring a changing towel/robe to use the nearby toilets.

What to bring:

• Swimwear
• Two towels (one for sitting on and one for drying afterwards)
• Drinking water (no metal or glass bottles please)
• Optional - slip on footwear
• A changing robe or similar

Using the Garden Sauna:

• Please leave footwear outside the sauna
• Please sit on your towel in the sauna and wear a swimwear whilst using the sauna and cold-water experience
• The operation of the wood burning stove is strictly for staff members at the Garden Sauna. Please do not touch the stove or chimney.
• Visitors must follow all instructions given by the Garden Sauna Attendant
• Please respect the other sauna users. Any disorderly behaviour is not permitted, and staff reserve the right to ask any customer to leave the premises
• Take care when moving in or outside of the sauna and cold-water area. Be aware of wet and uneven surfaces, please wear footwear when not inside the sauna
• Prolonged exposure to the sauna may cause your body to overheat. Limit yourself to a maximum of 15 minutes (depending on experience). We advise beginners to start with three to five minutes
• Any metal in the sauna such as jewellery and watches will retain heat and therefore is not suggested to bring into the sauna
• Stay hydrated before, during and after sauna use

Tips for getting the most from your Garden Sauna Experience:

• The experience lasts just over one hour – please arrive 25 minutes before your slot so that you can receive the briefing and change
• You have use of the Sauna for 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute rest period where you can enjoy a complementary speciality tea in the Camellia House.
• We recommend practicing contrast therapy which involves alternating between the Sauna and cold-water shower, ending with the rest period
• We recommend spend 10 – 15 minutes in the sauna (or less if you are new to this experience), followed by a cold-water shower for 10 - 30 seconds. Repeat this cycle before finishing with a 10 – 15-minute rest to allow your body to recover
• This is a recommendation, please listen to your body and do what you feel is comfortable
• Why not extend your Garden Sauna experience by booking lunch at the Camellia House?
