If you (or someone you know) are worried about feeling claustrophobic in the float pod, then here are 2 reasons why you don't need to worry.

In our latest short video Shari explains how spacious our i-sopods are, you can see how easy it is to move the manual door, and you can choose to leave it open. You are in control.

🎅🎅 Arrange to collect and save! 🎅🎅

Did you know you can save a little bit by arranging to buy your float gift cards in person?

We offer 2 types of gift card: digital gift certificates (by email only) or physical gift cards.

You can save a little bit on the physical gift card option if you buy them in person at the float centre. That way you can cut out the postage, and we'd love the chance to say hello too!

Please note we need to make sure we're available to help you, so if you'd like to come and buy them in person (Wednesday to Sunday), please call us on 01594 715215 in advance to arrange your visit for a time to suit you and us.

Support local artists this Christmas 😍

Today is Small Business Saturday UK. Here at Float in the Forest we love to support small businesses and artists, and we encourage you to do the same.

Today we celebrate local artist Sara Ulyatt, who created two of the wonderful paintings you'll see in the relaxation lounge. Sara has also created these beautiful fluid art coasters and silver necklaces which are available in the float centre shop. The colours are stunning, and each one has a unique pattern.

Check them out when you come for a float, and treat someone to a beautiful gift 🥰

Sara is appearing at the Merry & Bright pop-up market over the next couple of weeks at The George, Newnham, with other local artists. Go along for a cuppa and a browse, maybe do some Christmas shopping and say hello from us! Entry is free, check out the times and info on The George page.

Support local businesses this Christmas 😍

Candles make a lovely gift, and we've got some beautiful ones in the float centre shop, handmade by Alan and Julie from Juals Candles in a small seaside village in South Wales.

We've got Christmassy fragrances including
💚 festive apple pie
💜 frankincense & myrrh
❤️ cranberry & spiced ginger..and all sorts of other gorgeous (and non-Christmassy) fragrances too.

These candles are excellent quality and burn so well. Have a sniff and treat someone (or yourself!) when you come for a float 🥰
