Question 1

What is Chiltern Sauna Circle?

Accepted Answer

Chiltern Sauna Circle is an outdoor wood-fired sauna garden based at Penn Meadow Farm in Beaconsfield, sitting in the Chilterns countryside. A place to slow right down, get properly warm, and let the rest of it wait. Sessions move with the seasons: the campsite is busy and social in summer, and quieter and slower in winter. Whether you come alone for some time to yourself, join a community session with friends, bring a group for a private hire, or book a sauna celebration, we look forward to welcoming you.
