Booking a session

How do I book a session with Leeds Community Sauna?

Pick a date from the calendar, choose an available time slot, enter your details, and complete payment if the session is paid. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to manage the booking.

Do I need an account to book?

Not if you have not booked here before. You can book as a guest using just your email address. If you already have an account with that address you are asked to sign in first, and an account makes managing future bookings easier.

Can I book the same session every week automatically?

No. Bookings are made one at a time, so pick the date and time you want on each occasion. Anything you have already booked is listed on your account page.

How far ahead can I book?

Depending on the session, you can book between 40 and 42 days ahead. Dates further out appear on the booking page closer to the time.

How far ahead you can book depends on the session. Some sessions are one-off dates, or run to a set end date, so they do not follow this window. Members can book further ahead - see memberships.

How late can I book?

Bookings stay open until the session ends, so you can still book a session that has already started. Once a session has finished it comes off the booking page.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payment methods are set by the venue and vary by region, typically card payments, with mobile wallets and local bank-debit options where the venue has enabled them. Memberships and Bundles unlock reduced prices automatically when you are signed in.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Yes. Use the manage link in your confirmation email to reschedule up to 48 hours before the session starts, or to cancel up to 48 hours before the session starts. Paid bookings are refunded to the original payment method.

What happens if a session is cancelled?
