Women’s Day – Aqua Springs
Sunday, January 26th @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Join us for the first of our quarterly women’s social events for 2025! Kick back, relax and get to know other women from the sangha in our annual outing to Aqua Springs spa in Colchester.
It’s a lovely, fairly large spa with a range of saunas, hydrotherapy pools, salt room, aromatherapy room and even a cold plunge pool for those who dare! There’s plenty of opportunity to chill out and rest, as well as use the pools and facilities as you like. It’s £20.50 for the entire day, excluding any food you may want from the cafe. If you’d like to book a treatment please do so via the Aqua Springs site.
We’ll be sharing lifts as far as possible, meeting at the centre around 9.15 with a view to leaving at 9.30 to arrive at Aqua Springs for around 10am. We expect to leave around 4pm to return back to Ipswich.
For all information on what you will need, see below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring?
Bring a dressing gown if you want it (They are £5 + £15 deposit from Aqua Springs if you forget/prefer to use theirs), a towel and flip flops (and swimwear of course!). A bottle of water and a book to read if you fancy chilling out on the sunbeds is a good idea too!
What else do I need to bring?
Lockers require a pound coin or a trolley token, they have some at reception to buy if you need one. There’s also small lockers inside the spa (which need another token/coin) for little things (e.g. phone, payment card) which you might need access to while in the spa.
Do I need an account?
You will need a (free) leisure card account which you can create on arrival but it’s quicker to do it beforehand with the link here.
Can I buy food at Aqua Springs?
You can get a jacket potato in the cafe for lunch or there’s paninis, sandwiches and other tasty snacks, and coffee, smoothies etc.
Do I need to book?
There isn’t a requirement to book in advance, but if you want you can book online to arrive at 10am, which is available to book within 14 days of the event: https://colchesterleisureworld.gladstonego.cloud/book – this should save us having to queue up on arrival.
