Concept
How does membership work?
- We are a winter sauna for sea dippers which operates from October to May.
- Members can use the sauna as much as they like within the Opening Times. Booking is not possible or needed.
- Wristbands: All members must pay for a wristband with a fob which costs £25. The fob will give members access to the sauna during the Opening Times. The wristband must be worn at all times when you use the sauna. If you lose your wristband, report it immediately and pay for a new wristband. Members are not allowed to lend their wristbands to others and can lose their membership if they are found to do so.
- Open Day: Friends and family can only be brought along on open days (dates are listed under Opening Times)
- Folkestone Rowing Club social membership is automatically included with a sauna membership and members will be issued a FRC membership card.
- There are no staff onsite. You are responsible for your own safety when you use the sauna and we’re all responsible for looking after the sauna and each other and must report it if anything doesn’t look right.
