COVID safety
In response to the new variant, we’re running this event at a small scale and reduced capacity.
The event takes place both outdoors and indoors. There are two saunas, a communal one and a private one, both outdoors. The communal sauna is running at half capacity, with 10 people (instead of 20) allowed in at the same time. The private sauna can be booked separately for families and social bubbles of up to 6 people.
For the indoor parts of the event:
Please wear a face covering, unless exempt
Use hand sanitiser
Keep your distance from others as much as possible
Please do a lateral flow test ahead of the event. If you test positive, have any symptoms, or feel unwell, please stay at home.
You can request a refund via Eventbrite at any point ahead of your booking and come back to have a sauna at a later date. The talks will be recorded and shared, so you will not miss out on those either.
