Full Moon, Sunrise and Solstice Swims
Our Moon and Sunrise Swims are a magical opportunity to gather and swim under the light of the full moon in our beautiful lakes.
Tickets must be purchased to attend these events - access to moon swims is not included with a standard day ticket.
If you would like to book a sauna, please book your sunrise/moon swim first, add parking if you need it (maximum of two parking spaces per order), and then add on your sauna ticket as you proceed to checkout.
The Moon swim Experience
Horseshoe Lake is the heart of the event, with fires also lit on Monet. Bring your camp chairs and hot drinks, gather around the fires, and soak up the friendly, chilled-out atmosphere - before and after your swim. You can base yourself on the island or round the edges. Please be careful when walking close to the edge of the lake!
M Lake is where you’ll swim if you’ve booked a moon swim sauna. Arrive 10 minutes before your slot. Moon swim saunas start slightly before the moon swim itself, so after your sauna you can still join the fires on Horseshoe.
In Summer (May-September), moon swims start at 8:30pm, once day-ticket holders have left, and run until 10:30pm.
In Winter (October April), moon swims start at 8pm, once day-ticket holders have left, and run until 10pm ,with our last saunas finishing at10:30pm.
The café will be open, serving hot drinks and cakes.
The Sunrise swim Experience
Pool Bridge Farm boasts some of the most spectacular sunrises in North Yorkshire. Q Lake is the heart of our sunrise events, whether it’s a dawn chorus or a solstice celebration, as this is the best place to watch the sun rise beautifully over the water. Bring your camp chairs and hot drinks, gather around the fires, enjoy the reflections and soak up the quiet before your swim, then socialise around the fire afterwards. You can base yourself on the island or round the edges of the lake.
M Lake is where you’ll swim if you’ve booked a sunrise swim sauna. Arrive 10 minutes before your slot. Sunrise swim saunas start slightly before sunrise and continue after sunrise, until opening time. You are welcome to join us around the firepits on Q Lake before or after your sauna.
Tickets & Booking
Moon Swim tickets go on sale four weeks prior to the event, at midday.
Sunrise ticket release dates will be advertised on our ticket page, socials and newsletter.
All five saunas are available to book online - once you add a moon/sunrise swim ticket to your basket, you can add a sauna if available.
These swims are 18+.

Parking:
If driving, purchase a free parking ticket when booking. These cannot be added later, so if none are available, please consider cycling or getting a lift.
We encourage car sharing where possible to help manage parking.
Safety and Practical Information
Fire pits will be lit on the banks of Horseshoe (for moon swims) or Q lake (for sunrise) to keep everyone warm.
Monet lake will also be lit up and you can swim freely in here. Do not swim alone.
Q lake won't be lit up on moon swims and can only be used by members, regulars and seasoned swimmers. Do not swim alone.
There are changing areas at Monet and Q lake and a changing shelter on Horseshoe - but many people bring a robe and change on the bankside.
Moon Swims offer a unique, magical experience, but please follow all safety guidelines.
