Hope you enjoy the behind the scenes updates & see you in the next one!

We have a huge announcement! Bective, Inchicore, Cork, Carlingford, and Killiney - we’re rolling out our end of Summer event series!

We’ve had so many requests to bring ritual events to more Hot Box locations and we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make this happen.

Also were rolling out our popular Finnish BBQ events, so you can enjoy the sauna like the Fins!

We took some inspiration from the fin’s bbq tradition Grillimakkara, and had a little summer bbq party in inchicore last weekend

We’ve always felt that sauna is more than just sweating it out, its about a shared experience, and we wanted to start an events series to reflect that

We’re going to roll out these bbqs and other events across all of our sites so keep your eyes peeled
