Hetta Community
We want Hetta to be somewhere you can come without needing an occasion, a group of friends or even a sauna booking.
So we're creating a growing programme of Hetta Community events – simple, social gatherings where everyone is welcome.
All of our these events are in the Hetta Community section on our bookings page.
Hetta Dip Club
Hetta Dip Club isn’t a swimming club. There are no distances to cover, no pace to keep and absolutely no pressure to get your head under.
It’s simply about getting outside, getting into the sea and doing something that makes you feel good — together.
We meet at Sauna Hetta before heading down to the beach for a slow, social dip in the North Sea. Stay in for ten seconds or ten minutes; paddle, dip, dunk or just come along for the company. You do it your way.
Afterwards we’ll gather for coffee, a chat and a bit of Sunday-morning craic. Sauna sessions are optional and can be booked after dip club.
Dip Club is free to attend but for safety we require participants sign up via the Booking Calendar.
Hetta Slow Run Club
Hetta Slow Run Club is for anyone who’d like to start running, get back into it, or simply move a little more – without worrying about pace, distance or keeping up.
Think less running club, more Sunday morning movement with good people.
We follow a gentle Couch to 5K-style approach, mixing walking and running and gradually building towards a relaxed 5K. You don’t need to be fit or fast. Come exactly as you are. There will always be someone at the back to keep the last runner company (we have plenty of volunteers in the team for this role!).
We meet on Sunday mornings at The Barn on The Bay before heading out together along our beautiful stretch of the Northumberland coast. Dogs are welcome too. Sometimes we’ll run along the farm tracks depending on the weather.
Afterwards, stick around for coffee, a chat and, if you fancy it, an optional sauna.
Run Club is free to join, but please register on our bookings page before coming along so we know who to expect.
Hetta Book Club
Our Book Club is less about literary analysis and more about a good book bringing people together.
Read the book before hand, then join us arund the fire pit in the Barn where our book club discussion happens somewhere a little different!
We’ll talk about what we loved, what we didn’t, the bits that stayed with us and all the conversations the book sparks along the way. There are no clever critiques required, no questions to prepare and absolutely no telling off if you didn’t quite make it to the final chapter.
There are two ways to do book club - either sign up for a sauna beforehand and get a hot drink and slice of cake included or just come along for the Book Club discussion which is free (drinks are available to purchase).
Even if you aren’t doing the sauna please sign up for our free book club on the booking page as numbers are limited.
Hetta Pilates with a Purpose
We're treating our customers to a subsidised pilates session in the Cowshed Barn, followed by a little time to warm up and enjoy a coffee.
The session is only £5 and profits will go to a local charity called Mothers to Mothers run by our sauna guide, Diane.
We're holding Pilates in the rustic Cowshed at The Barn on The Bay. It's undercover, so no need to worry about the rain, but it isn't heated!
Think outdoor winter Pilates rather than a cosy studio. Dress warmly, bring your mat and plenty of layers. There's a warm space to relax afterwards with your coffee.
