Welcome to Folkestone Sea Sauna
We are a community sauna for winter sea dippers. Our aim is to create a welcoming space where we all look after the sauna and the building and help to create a warm, thoughtful and respectful atmosphere towards everyone inside and outside the sauna.
Membership
Our sauna is for members only and we are open from October to May. We have a waiting list, which you can join for free but the wait might be long. At the start of the season 2024/25 we had 200 people on the waiting list.
For non-members we have open days across the year where everyone is welcome for free. The first Sunday of every month is OPEN DAY from 10:00-14:00. Please, bring an extra towel to sit on and a bottle of water. One of our members will be there to let you in and answer any questions. You can find the dates for all the open days of the current season under Opening Times/OPEN DAYS
Folkestone Sea Sauna & Folkestone Rowing Club
Folkestone Sea Sauna is part of Folkestone Rowing Club, but we have our own committee. All our members automatically get a social membership to the Rowing Club so they can enjoy the bar and social events throughout the year. For more information about the rowing club, the running club, yoga and social events, head to their website and sign up to their newsletter.
The Sauna waiting list
To avoid the sauna getting too crowded, we’ve added a waiting list. As and when members leave and we feel we have room for more members, we will contact people on the waiting list. Unfortunately, we don’t know how long the wait will be.
