Women’s Wednesdays

A weekly women-only sanctuary by the sea

On Wednesdays, Sauna Hetta becomes a space just for women — a calming midweek ritual designed to restore, reconnect, and revive. Set at The Barn on The Bay on Druridge Bay, our wood-fired barrel sauna offers gentle heat, beach access, and the freedom to unwind in a supportive, women-only environment.

Whether you're seeking quiet reflection, shared wellness with friends, or simply a moment to breathe deeply beside the ocean, Women’s Wednesday is your invitation to slow down.

What to Expect

• Women-only extended sessions so you have time to enjoy the beach before, during or after your sauna

• Soothing wood-fired heat with the option for cold dips in the North Sea

• Cold plunge baths to help you reset

• A peaceful, supportive atmosphere for relaxation and wellbeing

• Complimentary herbal tea to enjoy on our verandah

Why We Love It

These sessions are perfect for those who prefer a women-only setting, are new to sauna, or want to share a mindful midweek escape with friends. The rhythm of heat, fresh air, and sea breeze creates a grounding experience that leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply restored.

Over the winter Sauna Hetta is based on the verandah at The Barn on The Bay, just a few minutes walk over private land to the beach. Being at the barn means we have access to changing facilities and loos and we have the cover of a festoon lit verandah for our cold plunge baths.

Women’s Wednesday sessions are 1.5 hours to give you a chance to go over to the beach, have a dip if that’s your thing’ then come back and enjoy the heat of the sauna. The firepit is an added bonus for sitting around with friends old and new and enjoying a complimentary herbal tea.
