Frequently asked questions
HOW LONG WILL THE WALK LAST? Our walks will last around two hours on the Day Tripper events and three hours on Big Weekender events
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT? WILD:her events are focused on people in mid-life, those experiencing perimenopause or menopause at any age. But that's not to say you can't bring your adult daughter or friend in their later years. We will host specific events for those 70+.
ARE WILD:her EVENTS JUST FOR WOMEN? We are an inclusive community committed to creating safe, respectful spaces. We welcome women and trans women and aim to design events that respect everyone’s comfort, dignity and boundaries. Some sessions are open to women and trans women, while others are reserved for women based on biological sex due to the nature of the sauna activity. Please refer to individual event listings for full details
CAN I BRING A FRIEND? Absolutely yes! Bring as many as you like. In fact, we offer bespoke private group bookings so get in touch with your ideas and dates and we'll design a day just for you and your friends.
DO I NEED TO PRE-BOOK? You do yes, as we need numbers up front and financial commitment to ensure the activities within the event are reserved for the right amount of people (this includes sauna sessions, meals, works on the weekend days).
HOW DO I PAY? There's a payment button on each event page where you can enter your card details and complete the booking.
ARE THE TEAM QUALIFIED? Kate, who leads the guided walks, has her Lowlands Leadership qualification and First Aid for Outdoor. She also knows the hills around Hebden Bridge like the back of her hand, so you're in safe hands!
HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE? Essentially, no. Our walks are designed to fit everyone's fitness levels. We only go at the pace of our slowest walker. When you book on, we will send you a customer information form where you can give us this kind of information so we know well in advance and can design the walk accordingly.
WHERE DO THE WALKS START AND FINISH? Generally, all walks will start and end in Hebden Bridge. Accurate locations will be confirmed once you have booked onto your specific event. We will send maps and all the information you need well before the date of the event.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE SAUNA AND COLD PLUNGE EXPERIENCE? These are always a fun and relaxed experience. You can spend a long or short a time in the sauna and cold plunge as feels comfortable for you, and do each as many times as you like, within the time we spend there. Don't worry, no one is going to force you do either - although we may gently encourage you to do both as it's amazing! We're there to hold your hand through the experience if you need some guidance.
I HAVE SPECIFIC DIETARY REQUIREMENTS... That's fine, most of us do! When you're booked on, we'll send a customer information form which includes a section for you add this exact information. The venues/chefs providing our meal/s are fully capable and respectful of catering for all dietary requirements.
WHAT'S YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY? You can find all that information our Terms and Conditions page (link at the bottom of the website).
