Elements
Elements is returning to Kendal, wilder than ever before.
Leave the crowds behind. Ten minutes from Kendal Mountain Festival, across the open fields of a working Cumbrian sheep farm, a crystal-clear pool on the River Mint is waiting, framed by ancient woodland with the fells rolling away to the Dales.
Here you'll feel the heat of a wood-fired sauna, the breathtaking shock of cold water, and the glow of the campfire as strangers become friends. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space: five elements, one unforgettable experience.
This year we're going further: guided cold water coaching, yoga and breathwork, and new Sunriser and Sundowner sessions with live DJ and campfire snacks, all around a bigger Elements Basecamp filled with the best of British outdoor brands.
Thursday to Sunday, 19–22 November 2026.
Spaces are limited. Read on to find out more and book yours.
Regular Session: £30 Feature Session: £50
Regular Session includes 60 minutes sauna & swim, with free coffee & drinks.
Feature Session includes the above but with expert coaching, live music, campfire snacks, optional yoga & drinks.
This is an over-18's event. Children can attend but not swim or use the Sauna. Dogs are permitted, on leads at all times.
Parking is available 300 metres from the Space. A Portaloo will be available where you park.
This could be you.
Elements
Field End is a hidden stretch of wild land on a 700-acre working sheep farm in the rolling hills of eastern Cumbria, farmed by Edward's family for generations. A 10-minute walk across open fields, with views stretching to the Yorkshire Dales, brings you to a deep, crystal-clear pool on the River Mint, sheltered by ancient beech woodland with rapids tumbling just downstream. It's the perfect setting for cold water immersion, sauna, and slow, meaningful time outdoors.
It feels a world away, yet it's just 10 minutes from Kendal Mountain Festival basecamp, with parking at the farm. This is a truly wild setting, with simple, temporary facilities: exactly how a November Elements should be.
Full details on access and location, including your route card, will be sent in your welcome pack after booking.
Where the magic happens
your experiences
I’ve done a lot of cold water swimming and sauna, but Elements was so so good. The setting, the people, the pace of it all, it properly slowed me down.

No idea really what to expect but ended up having one of the most grounding experiences we’ve had! It was welcoming, relaxed and incredibly well thought out, nothing forced, just space to be.
