Scarlet Loves Sound · The Experience

Everything You Need to Know

Discover our floating sound baths in Essex and Bishop's Stortford. Everything you need to know about our immersive floating sound journeys, gong baths and sound healing experiences.

01 / The Experience

01 What is a floating sound bath?

A floating sound bath is a unique relaxation experience where you lie comfortably on a specially designed floating bed, gently supported by water while surrounded by beautiful sounds and vibrations.

Our floating sound journeys combine planetary gongs, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls and other instruments to create an immersive soundscape designed to encourage deep relaxation.

02 Where are your floating sound baths held?

Scarlet Loves Sound offers floating sound baths at Ramsden Bellhouse, near Basildon in Essex and Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire.

Both locations offer immersive sound healing experiences in welcoming pool settings.

03 Do I get wet during a floating sound bath?

No! You'll remain fully clothed and dry while resting on a floating bed on top of the water.

Poolside sound bath spaces are also available at selected events if you prefer to remain on solid ground.

04 How is a floating sound bath different from a traditional gong bath?

A traditional gong bath usually takes place on a yoga mat or bed on solid ground.

A floating gong bath adds the gentle sensation of being supported by water while enjoying the immersive sounds of the instruments.

05 What are the benefits of floating sound baths?

Many guests enjoy our floating sound healing experiences as a chance to slow down, switch off and reconnect with themselves.

The peaceful surroundings, gentle floating and soothing sounds may encourage deep relaxation and help ease everyday stress. Individual experiences can vary.

02 / Preparing for Your Journey

06 What should I wear to a floating sound bath?

We recommend comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and warm socks.

There is no need to bring swimwear as you remain dry throughout the floating sound journey.

07 Do I need any meditation or sound healing experience?

Not at all! Our floating sound baths in Essex and Bishop's Stortford welcome complete beginners and experienced guests alike.

Simply arrive, get comfortable and enjoy the experience. There is nothing you need to learn or practise beforehand.

08 What happens when I arrive?

At Ramsden Bellhouse, your experience begins with a gentle Aqua de Florida cleansing ritual, followed by an invitation to select an angel card and set an intention.

Our facilitators will explain how to safely get on and off the floating beds before your sound journey begins.

Please arrive on time and no more than 10 minutes before your session. This allows us to finish preparing the space and welcome everyone comfortably.

09 Can I attend if I cannot swim?

You will be resting on a specially designed floating bed rather than swimming.

Our experienced facilitators will demonstrate how the beds work and remain available throughout your experience.

If you have concerns about being near water, please contact us before booking.

10 Is there a weight limit for floating?

Yes. Our floating beds have a maximum weight limit of 136 kg.

Poolside sound bath spaces may be available as an alternative, allowing you to enjoy the same immersive sound journey without floating on the water.

11 Are floating sound baths suitable for everyone?

Our floating sound baths are designed to offer a gentle and relaxing experience. However, certain health conditions, medical devices and sensitivities to sound may need additional consideration.

All participants are required to complete a health and safety disclaimer before attending a sound bath.

This helps us understand any relevant health considerations and make sure the experience is appropriate for you.

If you are pregnant, have an implanted medical device or have an existing medical condition that may be affected by the experience, please contact us before booking and seek advice from your healthcare professional where appropriate.

03 / Booking & Practical Information

12 How much does a floating sound bath cost?

Floating sound bath spaces are generally priced at £50, with poolside experiences starting from £30.

Prices may vary depending on the event and guest practitioners. Please check individual event listings for current prices.

13 Where will I find the venue address and event information?

Following your booking, you should receive an email containing the full venue address, directions, disclaimer information, what to bring and contact details for the day of your event.

Please tick the email subscription box at checkout to receive our event information and reminder emails.

If you do not receive your email, please contact enquiries@scarletlovessound.co.uk .

A reminder email will also be sent within 48 hours of your event date.

14 What time should I arrive and what happens if I'm late?

Please arrive on time and no more than 10 minutes early. Each sound journey is carefully prepared and we want to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, unfortunately you will not be able to join the session, as entering once the journey has begun may disrupt the experience for other guests.

If you are unable to join due to late arrival, no refund will be offered.

15 What is your cancellation, refund and transfer policy?

Each sound journey is created with deep care, intention and preparation. Your booking secures one of our limited spaces.

For this reason, all ticket purchases are non-refundable, subject to your statutory rights.

If your plans change and you can no longer attend, you are welcome to gift or privately transfer your space to someone else.

In some circumstances, we may be able to offer a swap to an alternative date. However, this is not guaranteed and is reviewed case by case, depending on availability and timing.

In the unlikely event that Scarlet Loves Sound needs to cancel or reschedule a session, you will be offered the choice of an alternative date, Scarlet Loves Sound store credit or a full refund.

Please note that refunds are not offered where guests are unable to attend due to arriving more than 15 minutes late.
