Welcome to Folkestone Sea Sauna
We are a community sauna, first established in 2023, based at Folkestone Rowing Club in Sandgate.
Our purpose is to provide affordable sauna experiences for sea dippers, swimmers and wellbeing enthusiasts who seek somewhere to relax and connect with others in a healthy and welcoming space.
Membership
Our sauna is for members only and we are open from October to June. We have a waiting list, which you can join for free. Due to increased demand waiting time to join is currently quite long, at the start of the 2025/26 season we had 450 people on the waiting list.
Open Days
For non-members we have open days across the year where everyone is welcome for free. These are on the first Sunday of every month from 10am-2pm. Please bring a towel to sit on and a bottle of water. One of our members will be there to let you in and answer any questions.
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 a drink at the bar and social events throughout the year. Visit the rowing club's website for more information.
