The Cornish Sauna Festival is the first sauna festival of its kind in Cornwall, bringing together a diverse programme of sauna practices, heat experiences, and community gathering across four winter days.

The festival will feature:

• Aufguss sauna sessions

• Pirtis sauna experiences

• Contrast therapy

• Grief ceremony sauna

• Fire-cooked food

The festival is rooted in the belief that sauna supports physical wellbeing, mental health, and social connection, particularly during the winter months. Sauna offers a simple, accessible way to stay connected to the body, the natural environment, and one another through shared heat and ritual.

February can be a difficult time of year. The Cornish Sauna Festival offers warmth, structure, and community at a point in the season when many people need it most.
