Sonder Experience

Sonder Experience: wood-fired sauna and cold plunge in the Oxfordshire countryside

Sonder Experience is a sauna and contrast bathing space located at Lopemede Farm, in the rural surroundings of Thame (Oxfordshire). Its offering combines a wood-fired sauna, a cold plunge and an outdoor cold shower, set among open fields with panoramic views. The site presents itself as a place for unhurried rest, aimed both at those who already practise sauna and those trying it for the first time.

The company serves individuals, couples and groups, and also offers community sessions for people who prefer to share the experience with other attendees.

Private, shared and group sessions

The main service consists of hourly bookings at the site itself. The private option allows you to book the whole space for a group, with access to the wood-fired sauna and the cold plunge. In shared sessions, attendees join an open slot or come with their own group to combine sauna, cold water and time to unwind together.

The space accommodates up to seven adults per group; for larger groups, the company asks you to get in touch beforehand to discuss the arrangements.

Mobile hire for events

Sonder Experience takes its wood-fired sauna to events and external venues: it handles transport, setup and operation during the activity. Hire is offered by the day or per event and covers Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and other areas.

Hot and cold therapies and community support

The company frames its activity within contrast therapies and mentions among its benefits improved circulation, recovery and immune function. Its offerings include special sessions focused on connection between attendees, including a support community for people with autoimmune conditions.

The catalogue includes a sauna pass: for £90 you get access to community sessions worth £120. It also sells gift cards and loyalty cards.

Scheduled events

The website announced two events: a hands-on workshop on making Fire Cider as a traditional home remedy, with organic and local ingredients, scheduled for 22 March 2026, and a free community sauna and cold plunge day on 28 June 2026.

Setting and experience

The facilities are located at Lopemede Farm, with open views over the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire landscape. In addition to the sauna and cold plunge, the site has a garden lounge area for breaks between rounds. The company states that the cold plunge is always optional and that each person can regulate their exposure to the cold.
