“This scene is genuinely the most exciting, fast-moving cultural movement I’ve seen”
In May 2024 we organised and hosted Sauna Summit – the UK & Ireland’s first sauna industry event!

Regular use of saunas is part of healthy lifestyle in Finland, Scandinavia, Baltics, Central and Eastern Europe and beyond – with a positive impact to individuals and societies alike.
We believe the same could be achieved in Britain.

The second coming of steam in the UK
The British Sauna Society (BSS) is a constituted non-profit association with three main objectives:
Promote sauna culture in the UK
Provide standards and guidance on building, operating and using a sauna
Engage with and expand the sauna community
We work to bring the Europe-wide sauna knowledge and practices in their authentic forms to the UK, whilst supporting the new wave of homegrown British sauna culture as it evolves.
This is how we do our part to reboot the millennia-old bathing culture in Britain.
The BSS is also the UK national member of the International Sauna Association (ISA).
