SAVOUR THE STILLNESS |
Your toolkit to lasting serenity |
Calm isn’t a single moment. It’s something you can build, layer by layer across the year. From quiet escapes to wellness rituals and moments of inspiration, every choice adds up to a life that feels a little slower, a little kinder, a little more yours. In 2026, there are countless ways to carve out space just for you - and thankfully, calm is our speciality. |
A year of spa days |
Wellbeing deepens with every return. Even nine hours of warmth, water and stillness can reset the body and mind - and each time you come back, calm arrives more easily. |
Little rituals, lasting impact |
Calm doesn’t belong to one moment. With Club Membership, it becomes something that weaves quietly into your everyday. This January, enjoy 13 months for the price of 12 and let wellness settle into your routine. |
Hold onto that feeling |
That post-spa feeling is hard to forget. What if it could linger, quietly, long after you leave? We’ve gathered simple ways to carry that serene, glowing sensation into your everyday, so the serenity of a spa escape can follow you home. |
JANUARY SALE |
The art of slowing down |
Some experiences ask for more time - one night to pause, two nights to truly settle, three nights to let calm run even deeper. |

MON 16 - SAT 28 FEB 2026 OPERATION MINCEMEAT"Part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors." - Neil Norman, The Daily Mirror Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical. It’s London's biggest hit with 88 Five-Star reviews, making it the best-reviewed show in West End history. Now also a Tony Award®-winning musical on Broadway! The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and - of all people - Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler? Operation Mincemeat arrives at Lowry in a month - don't miss out, book now! This production is supported using public funding by Arts Council England. |

“It's not just the best musical I’ve ever seen; it’s the most rewarding theatrical experience I’ve ever had.” - Taffy Brodesser-Akner, The New York Times Magazine “Laughing so hard I could barely breathe is not what I expected for a musical about a World War II top-secret plan." - Thea Jacobs, The Sun "Part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors." - Neil Norman, The Daily Mirror "Before curtain I talked to a fan seeing this for the seventh time. I wondered why anyone would see the same show seven times. Now I know." - Neil Armstrong, The Mail On Sunday |
