Community Sauna Baths - Hackney Wick

Banya has been practised for over a thousand years across Eastern Europe, not only as a way of washing, but as a ritual space for initiation, transition, and transformation. It is a liminal space where we return to warmth, water, and community as a form of deep, collective care.

A weekly sauna meet-up for mums with babies and toddlers aged 0-24 months, hosted by Mamma Swim CIC. While the group looks after each other's babies, mums take turns in the sauna in small groups, then return to a room full of mums who just get it. Warm up, brave the cold plunge if you're feeling bold, and enjoy the friendly company in a private light-filled sunroom with foam mats for the babies.

*End your weekend with a slow, restorative afternoon at Eastway Baths.

A dedicated sauna session in the Lunar Lodge for people who identify as male or non-binary: a space for men to connect, unwind and look after themselves, held monthly on a Monday evening. Come as you are. There's no pressure to be sociable though you're more than welcome to be, so whether you want to sit in comfortable silence or get chatting, you'll find your pace. A group host is at every session.
