Good questions.

The Hideout is a small, private wellness space in Crosby, Liverpool. We combine traditional sauna, cold plunge, breathwork and immersive sound in experiences you book privately — for yourself, as a couple, or with a few friends.

We're in Crosby, on the Liverpool coastline, close to Crosby Beach and Antony Gormley's Another Place. Full address provided after booking.

Most of what we offer is completely private — just you and your group. We also run a small number of shared open sessions at set times, clearly labelled as shared, for when you can't get a group together. Private experiences are never shared with strangers.

Most Hideout experiences — sound, breathwork and the signature journeys — are booked privately for just your group. We also run a small number of shared Open Group Sessions at set times (from £15 per person), clearly labelled as shared when you book, so you always know which you're choosing.

An Open Sauna Session is £15 per person for an hour, shared with a small number of other guests, with full use of the cold plunge. Private Sauna Hire is £60 for the whole sauna for an hour, just your group, up to six people.

Absolutely. Many guests come solo. It's your space and your pace.

Yes — The Hideout is a favourite for couples, dates, anniversaries and weekend breaks.

The Full Hideout Experience is up to four guests, Private Sauna Hire up to six, the Private 4 Person Sound Bath up to four, the Couples Sound Journey for two, and the 1-to-1 Sound Immersion is for one. For anything larger, get in touch and we'll see what we can arrange.

No. The cold is always optional. Plenty of guests build up to it over a few visits — or skip it entirely.

Completely. Every breathwork session starts with a proper introduction, and everything is guided. No experience is needed.

It's sound you can physically feel. Alongside traditional instruments and immersive audio, a specialist vibration mat lets selected sound, music and low frequencies be experienced through the body — like stepping inside sound rather than just listening to it.

Sound baths — the 1-to-1 immersion, the couples journey and the 4-person sound bath — are 1 hour. Private Sauna Hire and Breathwork are 1 hour. The Full Hideout Experience is 2 hours, with time to relax and refreshments. Shared sessions run 1 to 2 hours depending on the session.

Swimwear for the sauna and cold plunge, and anything you like to relax in afterwards. Everything else is taken care of.

Yes — towels are provided.

Yes. Every experience finishes with time to relax and enjoy refreshments.

You can — but we'd encourage you not to need it. Take a photo before or after if you like, then put it away. Some experiences don't need to be posted to be remembered.
