HIVE SPA
The best in our field
HIVE Spa began in 2018 when Jem's Sauna went into collaboration with Laurie French. We began our adventures with a popular series of outdoor spa events in Bristol that ran until 2022. Since then we've been gathering equipment and know-how, and have built a beautiful and successful festival spa around our mobile saunas, hot tub, cold plunge baths, changing area, chill-out spaces and shower block, not to mention our open-hearted and welcoming crew!
We're now heading for our 6th festival season as a well-oiled relaxation machine!
Buddhafield: 2024 was our 3rd year at Buddhafield. With a crew of 16 we serve around 500 customers over the long weekend. As Buddhafield is an off-grid festival we meet our own infrastructure needs with solar power, water storage tanks and pumps.
Nudefest: This was our 4th year at Nudefest. We provide multiple saunas, a hot tub, and a relaxation area as a much loved addition to the festival.
Queer Spirit: We've provided a sauna for the last two years for this beautifully grass-roots festival in Devon.
HIVE Fireside Spa: We sold out every edition of our pop-up spa event in Bristol. We combined a spa experience with live music and entertainment - from Dizraeli to a local choir! The event ended due to logistical difficulties with the venue, and we're forever being asked to do it again.
Many other festivals and parties over the years including a crew only sauna at Shambala '23 and '24, a sauna at Noisily before the pandemic, and at the sadly now defunct Anthropos festival.
