🌅 Introducing Sunset Sauna at Sonder. Only £16.50 for 1hr 10mins of pure gold.
This is your invitation to slow down.
Our Sunset Sauna sessions combine the warmth of our communal wood-fired sauna with the buzz of the cold plunge — and then nature puts on a show. 🌄
We can't promise a blazing sky every time (this is England, after all 😄), but when the light spills across the Oxfordshire countryside and the steam rises around you, it's one of those moments you won't forget in a hurry.

Every session includes:
🔥 Communal sauna & cold plunge
🧂 Salt scrub
🍵 Herbal tea to finish
⏱️ 1 hour 10 minutes
💛 £16.50 per person

Warmth. Stillness. Unforgettable evenings.

The BBC is reporting what we're living every day. 🔥
A new BBC piece has shone a spotlight on the rapid rise of sauna culture across the South of England - and the numbers are striking. According to the British Sauna Society, over 50 saunas have opened across the South alone in recent years, with 600+ now available to the public nationwide.

The BSS has seen an almost year-on-year doubling since 2018, and the reason goes deeper than wellness trends. As BSS Director Gabrielle Reason puts it, saunas are filling the gap left by the decline of community spaces - becoming the new "third spaces" where people genuinely connect.

The science is compelling too. Research from Scandinavia shows that more frequent sauna use is linked to improved longevity — and the combination of heat and cold immersion is gaining serious academic attention.

At Sonder Experience, we're proud to be part of this movement. Our wild sauna and cold plunge at Lopemede Farm, Thame sits in the heart of Oxfordshire — offering exactly the kind of community, nature, and restorative contrast therapy the BBC is talking about. From our autoimmune support group to first-time visitors, the transformation people feel is real.
If you've been thinking about trying it, now's the time. The South's sauna culture is only growing — and we're right here waiting for you. 🌿

We are holding a Wonderful Workshop just for you. Creating your own organic Fire Cider from scratch packed with health conscious ingredients, locally sourced where possible but all organic!!

For generations, cider itself has been used for a wide range of health and hygienic purposes, and this tradition continues today. More than anything, this workshop is about bringing people together. It’s connection, creation and collaboration.

You will learn about the essential ingredients, including organic apple cider vinegar with the Mother, garlic, cinnamon, lemons, coriander, chillies, honey, turmeric and more, and explore the potential benefits they may bring to your immune system, your daily routine and your family life. We’ll also share the traditions and rituals behind fire cider, so you can decide what you might like to weave into your own practice. Most importantly, you’ll meet like-minded souls to engage and create with.

Join us on Sunday 22nd March at 11am in a lovely warm yurt, ready to chop, chat and share.

£35 includes your own jar of fire cider to take home, time spent with a beautiful community, refreshments and perhaps a few new friendships.
