CONCESSIONS

At Community Sauna Baths, we believe that access to warmth, rest, and meaningful connection shouldn’t depend on your financial situation. Saunas have long been places of healing, reflection, and community - and we want to ensure that everyone, regardless of income or circumstance, can be part of that experience. That’s why we offer concessionary pricing starting from just £5 for those who need it most, including individuals with low incomes, students, NHS workers, and others facing various barriers. It’s one of the ways we’re working to make our spaces more open, welcoming, and equitable for all.
