Float in the Forest is a floatation centre in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire…. providing a wonderful floatation experience, with the unique benefit of emerging into a beautiful natural environment. Floatation is a relaxation treatment where you float on the surface of warm water saturated with Epsom salt, in a comfortable environment where sound and light are minimised. Imagine relaxing in a giant bathtub that you can sleep in with peace of mind.

Float in the Forest is the collaboration of Shari and Will, and a wonderful team of float hosts.

Last year we all got together, and fuelled by tea and carrot cake we asked ourselves: what is our mission, what is our vision, and what are our values? By the time all the cake was gone we had distilled it down to these...

We now have these proudly displayed on our 'About us' page, where you can also find out more about what drives us to make the world that bit floatier:

💙 Mission
Our mission is to provide optimal float experiences, empowering people to transcend suffering and explore new possibilities.

We envision a world where the benefits of floatation are widely understood and enjoyed. The benefits of floating will ripple out into the world, bringing greater compassion and calm.

We recognise everyone who comes to us as a unique individual, and support them in their journey.
We aim for impeccability, while owning our mistakes and continually improving.
We strive to ensure that our actions are ethical, sustainable and have a positive impact on the world.

Why do we run a float centre, and why is it a fun thing to do? 😀

These are great questions! Discover why Shari enjoys running a float centre...

"Now I feel relaxed and ready" 😍

We love this float quote from M. Imagine feeling chilled out, and at the same time ready to emerge back into your life with renewed energy. An excellent combination!

Floating can be refreshing and energising, as well as relaxing.

How will you feel after your float? 💙

Luxury is standard at Float in the Forest. 🥰

💙 We include a big fluffy towel in the price of your float booking, and a second one if you have longer hair.
💙 There are powerful rainfall showers and natural products for you to enjoy before and after your float, again all included.
💙 There's no need for you to bring anything, we aim to provide everything you need.

All this helps to make floating with us a luxurious 'me-time' experience 😍

Happy International Women's Day from the mostly female team at Float in the Forest! 💙💙

When Sarah first came to float she had mixed emotions, because it was also the first time she'd been apart from her 9 month old child. This is quite a landmark for a new parent, and it can also be a very empowering experience, as we often see here in the float centre.

With perfect timing to celebrate International Women's Day and also the upcoming Mother's Day, we're lucky to be able to share Sarah's float story in her own words, in our latest video. Check it out...

Float your Mum happy! 😀

Let's celebrate all the fabulous Mums out there, with Mother's Day on Sunday 15th March. Floats could be an ideal gift for your Mum (or any other Mums in your life), giving her some peace, quiet and relaxation, which she may find are rare commodities!

We currently have a small number of appointments left on 15th March, so if you'd like to book for then, we recommend you do so asap to avoid disappointment.

Alternatively you could give her a float gift card, so that she can book herself in at a time of her choosing.

We offer gift cards for 1 float, 3 floats, or 2 simultaneous floats. Maybe you'll come to share the experience with her (in separate rooms), or maybe it's the perfect treat just for her.

You can get these as digital gift certificates (delivered straight to you by email), or physical gift cards by post (though you please order these by Tuesday 10th March at the latest so we can get them in the post to you). Get yours here:

Although we've been open for seven years, lots of people still haven't heard about us or about the magic of floatation.

We're not trying to keep it a secret! We even have a referral programme... (make sure they name you, for it to be counted)

Have you been to float yet? Come an experience the ultimate relaxation for yourself. 💙
