Behind the saunas, coffee and classes at The Lions’ Den is a team with so much talent. And we love that they share them with our community.

Nathan (Host) brings the fun with quiz nights, Melissa (Host) teaches the art of macramé, Tara (Host) shares yoga and sauna rituals, Lucy (Assistant GM) shares her crafting skills, and Gareth (River GM) offers thoughtful rune readings. And that’s just a few!

Up next, Amber (City Assistant GM) will be hosting a Flower Arranging Workshop on Saturday 14th March. And Sam (City Kitchen Manager) will be hosting a Spring Equinox Foraging Experience on Saturday 21st March. A day of wandering, wondering, learning and connecting, with a seasonal tasting menu included.

Different skills. Different passions. All part of what makes The Lions’ Den what it is.

Today we’re celebrating the women who help shape The Lions’ Den.

The women who host with warmth.
Who welcome you in.
Who hold the space.
Who keep things moving quietly behind the scenes.

And the women who visit, gather, meet, sauna, paddle, work, laugh and spend time here with us.

We’re proud of the women on our team, and grateful for the energy they bring to both our River and City spaces.

The Lions’ Den is shaped by many people, but today we’re taking a moment to recognise the women who are part of that story.

International Women’s Day also feels like a good moment to remind you about our sessions just for women, our Women’s Only Sauna sessions. Time set aside to relax, connect and simply be.

Our next sessions
Tuesday 10th March (River) 7.30pm
Tuesday 24th March (River) 7.30pm
Friday 27th March (City) 6.30pm

To the women in our team and the women in our community, you’re part of what makes this place what it is.

Thank you for making The Lions’ Den feel like a home away from home.

Tuesday’s full moon at River felt special.

There’s something about gathering under a full moon that slows everything down. A reminder to pause, to reflect, to mark the moment rather than rush past it.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and for bringing your energy, your openness, and your presence.

Until the next one 🌕

Working at The Lions’ Den means being part of a team that genuinely cares. About the space. About each other. About the people who walk through the door. It’s hands on, people facing work. And it’s a joy to do, you’ll see the impact of what you do every day.

We’re growing and we’re looking for new hosts to join our team. At The Den, we welcome people in as if the space were our own home. Creating comfort without fuss. Noticing the little things. Holding the atmosphere. Taking pride in the space you spend time in.

We’re currently hiring:

Sauna Hosts�If you’re warm, reliable and love creating great experiences this is for you.

Freelance Graphic Designer�Perfect if you’re a Den fan and want to help us bring The Den to life across print and digital, keeping everything aligned with how the space feels in real life.

Every time people choose to spend time with us, it’s a privilege. We’re looking for people who understand that.

If that sounds like you (or someone you know), we’d love to hear from you.

Take a trip to The Lions’ Den River ...

A few steps from the water’s edge, warmth is waiting.

Our two saunas sit tucked away overlooking the River Wensum. A little pocket of heat, calm and nature. A place to sit, breathe, and let the heat do its work.

Come for the sauna. Settle in with a coffee and stay a while to appreciate the riverside views and fresh spring air.

The days are getting longer. The light on the water is changing. The ritual of stays.

See you soon.

There’s something about a full moon that makes you pause for a moment.

On Tuesday, we’ll gather beneath the Worm Full Moon at The Lions’ Den River. The first full moon of early spring. A quiet marker that the season’s are shifting.

We’ll light the fire pits. We’ll set our intentions and write down what we’re ready to let go of, or what we want to nurture next.

There’ll be seasonal reflections, optional cacao if you’d like something warm and grounding, and our saunas available to book as usual. Heat, firelight, conversation and space to slow down.

Come to reflect.�Come to connect.�Or simply come for a different kind of Tuesday evening.

Tuesday 3rd March�6–9pm, The Lions’ Den River

Free activities in The Den. Sauna sessions bookable via our app.

The fridge is fully stocked at City.

Our alcohol-free bar is there for the evenings you want something cold in your hand, without the after-effects the next day.

We’ve got Stackyard Stacked AF — a 0.3% Alcohol-Free Pale Ale that’s gluten free and vegan friendly. Brewed with their own and locally sourced malt, and quality hops, it’s crisp, balanced and properly refreshing.

If you’re in the mood for something with a little heat, there’s Tropical Mango cut with habanero. Sweet first, then a gentle kick. Bold, vibrant, and a little different.

And there’s so much more to choose from too.

Whether you’re pairing it with a sauna, settling in for the evening, or just catching up with friends, it’s social, without the compromise.

Cold drinks. Clear head.

See you soon.

That feeling you get when you step into the sauna and your shoulders drop? It’s not just in your head.

Regular heat exposure does more than soothe and offer a pause from everyday noise.

Time in the heat gently increases circulation, opens blood vessels and supports cardiovascular function. Similar to light exercise for your heart. It’s been linked with lower resting blood pressure, improved vascular health and even reduced long-term risk of heart disease when enjoyed consistently.

Saunas can help ease muscle tension after movement, support relaxation and calm your nervous system. Many people find they unwind more easily and sleep more deeply too.

So the next time you step into our saunas, know it’s not just heat you’re embracing. It’s an intentional pause that science suggests can support both body and mind.

Stay a while.

There’s something to be said for stepping out of the rush
For putting your phone down.
For letting the noise settle.

Choose a game from the shelf.
Play for the fun of it, or lean into a little friendly competition. Take your time. Lose track of it.
It’s not about winning (although we won’t stop you).
It’s about being here. Across the table from someone. Laughing, thinking, concentrating, without a screen in sight.

An hour can stretch differently when you let it.

Stay a little longer in Norwich’s new living room, The Lions’ Den City.
