Liverpool’s first dedicated outdoor sauna park has opened in the north of the city, bringing a Scandinavian-style thermal wellness garden to the area. The soft opening took place on Saturday 14 November, with the official opening following on Wednesday 18 November.
Located on Cherry Lane, The Urban Sauna is set within a tranquil landscaped garden surrounded by trees and greenery, designed to offer visitors a nature-led escape without leaving the city.
The facility features two custom-designed Harvia saunas powered by wood-burning stoves, alongside two hot tubs, an 8°C cold plunge bath, and two single ice baths set at 5°C and 3°C. The site also includes outdoor showers, changing facilities, warm ambient lighting, and a covered pergola with seating around log fire pits.
Shane Hanley, Director of Seven Group and co-founder of The Urban Sauna, said: “People will be coming into a really relaxing environment. For some, it might simply be the chance to de-stress from busy day-to-day lives, while others may be looking for physical relief and recovery from sports injuries or inflammation. “It’s a very simple concept. People often book weekends away and travel two or three hours to wellness retreats, which not everyone has the time or budget for. With The Urban Sauna, we’ve brought that health and wellness garden right to Liverpool’s doorstep, making it accessible seven days a week without needing to plan weeks ahead.”
The Urban Sauna is open daily from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, with single sessions starting from £15 per person. Block booking discounts, monthly subscriptions, and unlimited annual memberships are also available. To preserve a calm, uncrowded atmosphere, all sessions are strictly capped at a maximum of 30 people.
The site includes free on-site parking, and over the next six months, the team plans to expand its community offering to include outdoor Pilates classes, yoga sessions, and guided stretching workshops.
“Everyone deals with stress, from business owners to everyday workers, and anyone looking to support a healthier lifestyle can benefit from contrast therapy. Regular sauna use mimics a mild aerobic workout, supports cardiovascular health, and helps the body recover and reset. It’s going to be a massive game changer for the local community.”
