A New Chapter at The Bath House

Over the past few years, Civic State played a vital role in reactivating 80 Eastway - transforming an underused building into a thriving hub for creativity, care, and community. Thanks to their vision and work, The Bath House has become a place of warmth, healing, and connection.

Due to a recent decision by the council, Civic State will no longer be the leaseholder of the building. With their part of the journey now complete, they’re respectfully passing the reins.

We’re proud to share that Community Sauna Baths is now working in partnership with The Bath House Ltd, a newly formed not-for-profit company created to support meaningful community governance at the site. Together, we’re committed to continuing and building on the foundations laid by Civic State - and ensuring that The Bath House remains a welcoming and inclusive space for all who use it.

The shared mission of Community Sauna Baths and The Bath House Ltd is to secure the long-term future of the building and nurture the communities that depend on it.

We also want to acknowledge the significant value that Civic State has brought to this place, both creatively and financially. We’re fully committed to supporting Civic State’s sustainability and success in the next chapter of their journey.

This is a moment of change, but also of deep continuity. Our focus remains on community, care, and collective stewardship of this special space.
