The British Sauna Summit 2026 took place June 1 at Brighton Dome, the arts venue in Brighton, England. Organized by the British Sauna Society, it is what the society calls the UK's leading gathering for the sauna and bathing community.
A program set by members' priorities
The Summit's program spans talks, panels, and interactive sessions built around priorities identified by British Sauna Society members. Topics include operator best practices, sauna design, public health integration, cultural leadership, and the commercial trajectory of the UK sauna sector. An exhibition space hosts suppliers and businesses from across the industry.
Sauna Awards 2026
The day concludes with the Sauna Awards 2026, the British Sauna Society's annual awards for the UK sauna sector.
Sponsored by Finnmark Sauna
Finnmark Sauna, a UK supplier of sauna heaters and equipment, is the key sponsor. The Summit follows the UK Aufguss Championships at Galgorm in April, making June 1 the second major UK sauna industry event in six weeks.
