An evening of connection, calm & community – all for a good cause.
Join us on the longest day of the year for a truly special sunset swim or dip in support of Launchpad, a homelessness prevention charity working to support people across Reading by providing advice and safe, secure housing.
This isn’t just a swim – it’s an evening to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and others. As the sun sets, you'll experience:

•    A refreshing welcome drink on arrival
•    A mindful sunset swim or dip
•    A deeply relaxing guided meditation
•    A soul soothing sound bath
•    A gentle, grounding yoga session
•    An optional sauna and cold plunge experience for an additional £5 – perfect for boosting circulation

Whether you're taking the plunge or simply soaking in the serene atmosphere, you’ll be part of a powerful evening celebrating mental wellbeing, community spirit, and brighter futures for those facing homelessness.
If you'd rather not swim/dip, or if you're coming along to support a friend or family member, please select the Earth ticket option.
Please note that for safety reasons you'll be required to provide contact details for all those swimming.
