🌊🔥 BGO FOLKESTONE SEASIDE SAUNA DAY

📅 Saturday 14th November

🚆 Meet: 10:30am, St Pancras International

🔥 Sauna: 13:30–14:30

🏠 Back in London: approx. 17:30–18:00

We’re escaping London for a proper BGO day beside the sea! 🌊

We’ll be heading down to Folkestone for a seaside reset featuring a beach sauna + cold plunge, followed by good food, fresh fish and a wander along the seafront. Think crisp November sea air, steaming sauna, an icy dip and something delicious afterwards. 🧖‍♂️🥶🐟

🚨 YOU MUST BOOK YOUR OWN SAUNA SPACE

We are all booking the 13:30–14:30 (Scandinavian Sauna, or if there is no more space, the Shepherd's Hut) session on Saturday 14th November.

👉 Book The Scandinavian Sauna here:

https://minside.periode.no/booking/rGYfeMjZjpMqj1lIWsq9/bwJ5V0fOTUCfpzg0f338/2026-11-14/13:30

Please book ASAP as spaces are limited and your place is not secured by registering with BGO alone.

Once the Scandinavian Sauna sells out, go ahead and book the Shepherds Hut Sauna (their second Sauna on the site).

🚆 THE PLAN

📍 10:30am – Meet outside Starbucks inside St Pancras International

🚆 11:07am – Train to Folkestone Central

🌊 12:03pm – Arrive in Folkestone and head towards the seafront

🔥 13:30–14:30 – Beach sauna + cold plunge (The Scandinavian Sauna, or Shepherds Hut if there’s no space in the Scandinavian Sauna).

🐟 Afternoon – Food, fresh fish, foodie spots and a stroll around the seafront

🚆 Late afternoon – Head back towards London

🏠 Approx. 17:30–18:00 – Expected return to London

Exact timings after the sauna will be fairly relaxed. This is a seaside day out, not a military operation. 🌊😎

❓ FAQs

1. Do I need to book the sauna myself?
YES! Everyone attending the sauna must book their own space for the 13:30–14:30 session on Saturday 14th November using the booking link above.

2. Does registering with BGO reserve my sauna space?
No. Registering for the BGO event and booking the sauna are separate. Your sauna place is only secured once you have booked directly with the sauna.

3. Where are we meeting?
We’ll meet at 10:30am outside Starbucks inside St Pancras International. Please arrive in good time so we can get everyone together before the train.

4. Which train are we getting?
We’re planning to catch the 11:07am from St Pancras, arriving at Folkestone Central at 12:03pm. Members are responsible for purchasing their own train tickets.

5. What should I bring for the sauna?
Bring swimwear, a towel, water, warm clothes for afterwards and suitable footwear. A dry change of underwear/clothes is also highly recommended. November + English Channel = decidedly fresh. 🥶

6. Do I have to do the cold plunge?
Absolutely not. The cold plunge is completely optional. You can enjoy the sauna without taking the icy leap.

7. What are we doing for food?
After the sauna, we’ll explore some of Folkestone’s foodie spots, with plenty of opportunities for fresh fish, seafood, street food and other treats. Everyone can choose and pay for whatever they fancy.

8. Will there be time to explore Folkestone?
Yes! The idea is to make a day of it. We’ll have time to wander around the seafront, grab food and enjoy Folkestone together rather than travelling down solely for the sauna.

9. What time will we be back in London?
We’re aiming to return at approximately 17:30–18:00, although this is flexible depending on how the group moves and how the afternoon unfolds.

10. Can I meet the group in Folkestone instead?
Of course! If you’re travelling separately, just let us know in the group. Make sure you’re in Folkestone with plenty of time to join us before our 13:30 sauna session.

🌊 Book the sauna, grab your train ticket and get ready for a proper BGO seaside reset! 🔥🐟🧖‍♂️
