They’re seaside saunas made out of old horseboxes, which have become something of a craze. For £12.50 a pop, the Beach Box Spa in Brighton (pictured) will let you swelter at 110C for 45 minutes while someone gently beats you with birch branch whisks. Small sweatboxes are so popular that there are now around 50 of them from Cornwall to Aberdeen, with dozens more on the way.

Wow, wow, yes, yes, it sounds brilliant
No mention on their website of getting flogged with birch twigs though, thank goodness
I think that may be a flight if someones fantasy!

Are they by the beach so you can jump in the water after you’re done in the sauna?

I’m a Londoner so I know nothing about what happens north of Chippenham, because it’s all Scotland after that
But these things do seem to be popping up all over the country, (saunas that is, not OGF and naked floggings)
Is York north enough? this place looks really nice

Is there a Horse peering out of the third box from the left, note the lack of a chimney.

Maybe a late 18th century child, who did not want to be conscripted into the chimney sweep trade.
