Alcohol and drugs

Alcohol should be consumed responsibly. If alcohol is provided as part of a private experience, we recommend enjoying it in moderation and taking extra care when using the sauna or cold plunge.

For your safety, anyone who appears intoxicated or whose ability to use the facilities safely is impaired by alcohol or drugs may be refused use of the sauna, cold plunge or water. No refund will be provided where access is refused for safety reasons.

Age

Customers must be over 18 to use our services.

During your session

• Tell your host before you start about any medical condition or medication.
• Come out of the sauna and out of the water if you feel unwell, faint, numb, or short of breath.
• Never enter a plunge barrel or the lough alone or without telling your host.
• Do not jump or dive into the plunge barrels.
• Surfaces around the sauna and barrels get wet. Move slowly and take care.
• Drink water before and after your session.

Sea and lough access

Sea access at the Folklore Park is tidal, normally 2 and a half hours before and after high tide. At the Pier there is beach access approximately 4 hours before and after high tide. Water depth, currents and conditions change constantly. We do not provide lifeguard cover. Entering the water is entirely at your own risk and remains your decision.

Children and supervision

Our sites are working sites with hot surfaces, open water and wet ground. Customers must be over 18, and anyone under 18 on site with an adult must be supervised at all times.
