Brook Meadow unveils new luxury wild sauna and ‘Sibberstock’ music festival

With a thoughtfully curated summer programme full of wellness, creativity, and family fun, this lakeside retreat, located on a 400-acre, working family farm, redefines what it means to camp in style. Picture designer parasols fluttering over lakeside loungers, spa-quality washrooms, and evenings spent around a glowing fire bowl with campfire singalongs. It’s the perfect setting to unwind, share stories, and toast marshmallows under the open sky for a nostalgic and soothing holiday spent in nature.

Highlights include two exciting new features for Summer 2025: a lakeside Wild Sauna & Plunge Experience, and its very own music festival, Sibberstock, taking place this September.

WILD SAUNA CLUB: A Spa in the Woods

The new Wild Sauna & Plunge Experience, tucked away in the woods by the lake, is at the heart of Brook Meadow's elevated summer offerings. Claire Hart, the owner of Brook Meadow, brings her designer eye to the new space with polish and personality in every detail. From the calming pastel parasols and chic sun loungers to the pretty touches that make the entire lakeside feel like a boutique European resort. After the deeply rejuvenating, Nordic-inspired heat of the wood-fired sauna and an exhilarating cold plunge, guests can recline for the ultimate natural reset with a drink and relax in a peaceful woodland glade.

Available on Fridays and Saturdays throughout July, August, and early September, sessions can be booked directly with The Wild Sauna Club for £20 per person (day visitors also pay a site fee). It’s the perfect complement to a weekend of camping or glamping.
