Trans Sauna Hackney January 2026

Sweat, soak, and unwind! Trans Sauna Hackney returns to Hackney Wick this month 🔥

A night for trans+ people (transgender, non-binary, intersex or gender non-conforming) to warm up, cool down, and connect. Expect hot hot saunas, icy cold plunges, wellness facilitators, good food, and a space that’s entirely ours for the evening. This is not a cruising event - it’s a care, rest, and community event.

See you in the steam. ❤️‍🔥

This month we'll have:

Massage slots available, practitioners TBC, each offering 15 minute sessions for £15.
Hot food TBC

This month's reminders:

If you're feeling unwell, please consider not attending this event in order to protect others. Take a Covid-19 test if you have any symptoms. We are able to offer refunds in these cases.
Be mindful of our wristband system. If the sauna cabins are busy, prioritise those wearing wristbands for the current session. You are welcome to hang around the venue by the fire pits, by the other outdoor seating, or in the café inside the building, if the saunas are full.
Respect the BPOC only sauna cabin space. If you are white, this is not a space for you. This is usually clearly marked with a laminated sign.
Respect the quiet sauna. Be mindful of others as they may be looking for peaceful space to reflect. This is usually clearly marked with a wooden sign.
CLOSE THE DOOR! - don't let the heat escape. Enter and leave the sauna cabins as quickly as possible, never leave the door open.
