About
A Danish-built sauna handcrafted by Scandinavian Sauna, in the backyard of Cobalt Studios in Newcastle's Ouseburn quarter. Hour-long sessions come with a cold plunge and a fire pit. The Ouseburn setting of galleries, studios and the odd brewery makes for a good afternoon around it.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Women-only sauna: the venue has a women's side or room, or runs set women-only sessions.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
