Iʼve raised £8,878 to get Lost Horizon Sauna back on its feet again
- Funded on Saturday, 1st June 2019

Story
Hello beautiful people. We apologise for lack of comms recently, we’ve been going through a difficult year. With no Glastonbury festival this year and two of the four events we had planned falling through plus problems with our transport, we are left in debt and unable to continue without your help.
Lost Horizon has never been about making money which is why we are in this position but also why we have such a beautiful magical safe space. If you feel able to donate funds to help us recover to our feet again we would be eternally grateful. Love and thanks to everyone who has enjoyed our space over the years <3
We are trying to raise £8236 to get Lost Horizon Sauna back on the road.
Our costs include repairing insuring and putting back on the road our 18 ton lorry, annual repairs to the rig including replacing the sauna wood burning stove and flue pipe, public liability insurance and money for food, wood, and fuel for transport into the first gig Glastonbury festival which is big and expensive to set up.
Breakdown of costs
Lorry repair & MOT - £1400
Lorry insurance & road tax - £892
Operators licence renewal - £1081
Debt from this year - £1470
Public liability insurance - £588
New sauna burner & flue - £925
Annual repairs to the rig - £250
Total - £6606
We are so happy to have made our initial target so we are trying to raise the additional costs of getting us up and running at Glastonbury festival
Additional costs
Wood - £400
Gas - £180
Fuel for transport - £200
Food - £850
Total - £1630
What we can offer you in return
If you are able to make a donation of £30 of more we can offer you a weekend wristband into Lost Horizon at Glastonbury festival 2019 (you will need your own Glastonbury festival ticket of course!), or a 50% discount on your ticket at our next pop-up gig.
We are so immensely grateful for your support.
Described by many as a festival within a festival, Lost Horizon is truly unique. Our garden is a well held body positive clothing optional space that festival goers have come to rely on. A hidden garden oasis incorporating a luxurious wood-fired yurt sauna, cosy tipi and live outdoor stage, it's an area where people can be naked and free around open fires.
