Those involved said the reading group helped them escape the rush of daily life by improving mental and physical well being.
Book-lover Jo Harris said: “The whole health benefits of doing the sauna and followed by the cold plunge and then adding in a bit of book chat just makes it that bit more fun.”
Meanwhile, Rose said: “Everyone’s lives are so busy nowadays and I’m not very good at reading at home, so this is forcing me to read things and also different genres, which has been great.
“We’ve got a beautiful walking route up to the sauna, so people are walking up there, doing some exercise, then having a sauna and talking about books. It’s extremely wholesome.”
