😎 Chill Space
Being an outdoor company, Wellspace uses marquees as our safe space from the elements. We ask that you use the cubby holes provided to stash your gear in or neatly on the ground. We love it when people are tidy.
There is a small changing room for your privacy in the corner if you wish to change into your bathing suit. We do encourage people to go nude if they feel comfortable to do so (a very common European practice).
Please bring your towel into the sauna to sweat in or on as this is essential. And bring yourself another to dry yourself with!
You will be given a group number upon arrival, and will ring the bell at the start of every round of sauna. The second round will start 15mins later. We operate on a first in first served basis; if you arrive late, you may have to wait.
