Safety and Comfort

• Parking, toilets, changing room, showers and lockers at Mytholmroyd Community & Leisure Centre are available for sauna users.

• Please shower before using the sauna.

• Please remove your shoes before entering - bring flip flops for inside if you like.

• Jewellery (or any metal) should be removed before entering the sauna, to prevent burning.

• Please bring water, a towel to sit on in the sauna and another one for drying off afterwards.

• Enter and exit the sauna with care.

The following are not allowed in the sauna:

• Alcohol, smoking or vaping

• Essential oils - unless you’ve already asked.

• Hair, body oils, lotions or other products

• Food

• Nudity is allowed in privately hired sauna sessions - it’s up to you to consult with the rest of your group!

Managing the heat

• The sauna is wood-fired, extremely hot and should be treated with respect. Please do not touch any part of the chimney or stove.

• Rotate seats - the top bench is the hottest - lower benches are cooler.

• Take as many breaks as you like, stand outside for a bit, sluice or plunge!

• Regular sauna users gradually build tolerance to high temperatures. When you’ve had enough, call it a day!
