Wild Shed Sauna

Based in Bruton, Somerset, is a shining example of what an Emberkind sauna can become: a calm, beautifully designed space that quickly grows into a thriving local hub for wellbeing.

(Grace & Ben Burrows). Launched in September 2025

Their Setup

Grace and Ben chose an Emberkind-designed, EU-built wood-fired sauna for its blend of craftsmanship, contemporary design, and timeless Finnish principles. With knot-free aspen interiors, panoramic views to nature, and thoughtful guest flow, their space feels both premium and deeply grounded.

They offer:

Community sessions (capped for comfort and atmosphere)

Private hires

Quiet sessions

Cold tubs and outdoor showers

This flexibility lets them serve locals, visitors, and wellness-seekers without compromising the intimacy of the experience.

Philosophy

Wild Shed centres around one simple belief:

A sauna is a place where people slow down, connect, and feel part of something.

They intentionally shaped an environment that feels inclusive, calm, and restorative - a modern version of a village gathering place.

Business Impact

Their Emberkind sauna has enabled them to:

•⁠ ⁠Transition out of challenging career threatened by AI

•⁠ ⁠Generate strong recurring income through bookings and memberships

•⁠ ⁠Become a recognised wellbeing spot in their region

It has already become both a livelihood and a meaningful contribution to local community wellbeing.
