Let’s raise the standards together
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏 Sauna is more than just heat and steam—it’s a shared ritual rooted in respect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At PAUS, we worship practices that care for people and the planet. That means good etiquette isn’t optional—it’s essential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you’re a first-time guest or a lifelong sauna lover, your actions shape the experience for everyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s sit on towels, rinse before we plunge, ask before we pour—and let’s talk quietly. Let’s set the tone. Let’s lead by example. Let’s keep sauna culture beautiful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏 Thank you 🙏

Thanks for checking — yes, we’re closed today, even on a bank holiday.

💪 As always after a busy stretch, we need a few days to recover, reset, and get everything pristine, ready for another full Thursday to Sunday run.

😘 Thank you for your patience. See you on Thursday!

As always, we’re making something special with our own hands — repurposing what we can, and pouring care into every detail.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚏 This ex-Oxford sightseeing bus officially swapped city views for steam and serenity back in 2014, touring the most iconic festivals and events with us .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☘️ Last month it landed at the Hilltop to pamper our beloved PAUS. community for a few cherished months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏖️ Just a few finishing touches and final perks to add… then she’s ready to roll into her next chapter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥂 Join us tomorrow ( Friday the 23rd) after 5pm for the Bus Warming Party! The tour begins. PAUS style.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥳 It’s open to all Friday ticket holders and invited guests. Link to book your bathing tickets which will also include entry to the event are in the bio.

WILD SAUNA BRITAIN with author 📖🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Talk, Q&A + book signing
📅 Sunday 15 June, from 2pm
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Join us for a special afternoon with London-based sauna expert and Wallpaper editor Emma O’Kelly, as she launches her new book Wild Sauna Britain — a guide to the UK’s most beautiful sauna experiences, including PAUS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 Emma will be in conversation with Alexandra, co-founder of PAUS and a pioneer of sauna bathing — from small family settings to the UK’s biggest festivals, popular film sets, and sporting events of all sizes. Together, they’ll explore the power of heat, cold, nature and community — with stories from the book and reflections on Alexandra’s 15-year mission to bring the joy and benefits of sauna to everyone, everywhere.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✍️ Currently, the book is still available on various platforms online — order a copy and bring it along to have it personally signed by Emma as a special gift for the sauna lover in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The event is free of charge and everyone is welcome. Please register your interest on [email protected]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❄️🔥 After the talk, our three Hilltop saunas will be hot and waiting, if you’d like to wind down with a special sauna & ice o’clock experience. Limited availability, do not wait too long, book your sauna place now. Booking link in bio

Leon’s face when he realises the CoolPools are for humans only…
(He’s our Chief Mischief and resident rule-bender — but even he knows where the line is.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👍You, however, are very much allowed. In fact, we highly recommend it. Especially if you’re finishing work at 5 on Thursday — perfect timing for Ice O’Clock.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(For the new folks: every Thursday at 5pm, one of our CoolPools gets topped up with 200kg of ice.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👍 Don’t worry if you arrive a little later — the water only gets colder as time goes on, making it the ultimate post-office plunge and the freshest way to reset your evening while enjoying these beautiful sunsets.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍕 Bonus: It’s Pizza & Fire Night at the Bistro, with last orders at 8:15pm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👍 We still have spaces for this Thursday — both for the sauna-only package and the full bathing experience, including the Hot Tubs and everything else.

The Hot Tub Bus is here!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Hot Tub Bus rolled up to the Hilltop on Sunday, ready to take up her Summer residency.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚏 Despite a million miles on the clock and countless festival adventures ( slide through for a few throwback shots ), her engine fired up on the first try and she confidently made her way from our storage to the PAUS Hilltop, bringing with her a whole new kind of experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪏🔧 Over the next two weeks, Alexandra & Bart, with the help of Adam and others in the team, will be finishing the dedicated spot just for our Hot Tub Bus guests—offering a cosy new area of comfort and elevated views.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔗 Online bookings are now open, with the first ticketed sessions starting on 24th May.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥂 We’ll be celebrating with a Bus Warming Party for invited guests on 23rd May.

Size matters—especially when cooling down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💙 Our three plunge Cool Pools are big enough for stretching out your whole body on quiet Thursdays—or for laughter-filled dips with all your friends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩵 Clean, filtered water, fresh air and unspoilt open views, make all the difference. Not a river, not a tank—this is PAUS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩱 The cool pools are included for all bathing tickets - both our Full Bathing and Sauna packages, from Thursdays to Sundays.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧊 Every Thursday 5pm & every Sunday 3pm one of them is filled with 200kg of ice for Ice O’clock - our popular ritual of contrast, clarity, and community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔗 Come feel the difference. Book your pause.

Those who plant together, grow together! 🌱💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳 Some special guests recently planted 12 young trees in what will become our small PAUS oak grove.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their intuition chose the spot — and then each tree was placed carefully into the soil and sealed with a plaque.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳 For many years to come, they can visit their special little place and watch their sapling mature into a mighty oak tree.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little reminder that what we do today, becomes tomorrow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚 This is all part of the regeneration and care that goes into our space — as always, sealed with a little bit of PAUS love.

Our mission is to provide the ultimate in outdoor relaxation,
