NEW YEARS DAY SAUNA EVENT🔥

Kickstart 2026 in the best way:

📅 New Year’s Day
⏰ 1pm – 3pm
📍Applecross Sauna
💷 Just £5, payable on arrival

Level up your traditional New Years Day dook by warming up in our toasty wood-fired sauna afterwards!

We’ll be running a 1-in, 1-out system, to keep things relaxed and flowing. The fire pit will be going outside, along with a healthy supply of tea and cake. It will be a lovely way to gather in good company as we welcome in the new year - the perfect physical and mental reset for the body and soul.

Everyone welcome - even if you don’t feel like the sauna is your thing, but would like to come along to learn more and enjoy a bit of chat! 💙

Applecross Sauna goes live THIS FRIDAY🔥

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback and enthusiasm over the last month. The calendar is now open, with booking availability from this Friday.

To give the community as many options to benefit as possible, sessions are currently bookable:

🕗 Everyday, 8am–4pm

These hours may evolve as we see which days and times are most popular.

To make the sauna accessible locally, we’re offering 50% off all sessions for Applecross residents who join Sauna Club, which costs just £5.

Sauna Club members also get:
• Access to pop-ups, special events and offers
• Membership in our private Facebook group to connect with other members and arrange times to enjoy the sauna together!

To join Sauna Club, please complete the membership sign up form here: https://aswa.fillout.com/t/g6Y7ftCSA3us

We want everyone to have a go! Even if you’re not sure a sauna is “your thing”, we really encourage you to try it this winter. The warmth, fresh air and west coast setting do wonders for mental wellbeing.

The sauna is brought to you by volunteer-run group, Applecross Sports and Wellbeing Association. We’d like to thank our funders for helping us reach this stage, including Dòchas, North Highland Initiative, and all the generous donors to the Crowdfunder. We’ve got lots planned to keep improving the facilities and experience around the sauna and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

Thanks for all your support - we can’t wait to welcome you into the warmth.

***COMMUNITY SAUNA CLUB***

Now that the sauna is up and running we are looking at starting a community ‘Sauna Club.’

The idea for the club is that for a monthly membership of around £30, locals would have access to multiple uses of the sauna per month and to special events at locations such as the river and Bealach summit.

It isn’t possible to run the sauna - at the moment - for lots of hours per week. Fully seasoned wood is expensive, and volunteer time is stretched.

If you are interested in Sauna Club we’d love to hear your ideas, in particular what times and days you’d like the sauna to be available. Let us know in the comments🙂
