About The Greenhouse Sauna - Darlaston

The Greenhouse Darlaston is not technically in Birmingham, but for West Midlands gay sauna culture it is a destination in its own right. Around eight miles from the city centre, this huge four-floor gay and bisexual men’s health club has scale most UK saunas simply cannot match: a 250-man locker room, indoor swimming pool with waterfall and spa cave, dry sauna, multiple steam rooms, private and communal rest spaces, fetish rooms, restaurant, conservatory and roof sun deck. If you are searching for a gay sauna near Birmingham, a large cruising sauna in the Midlands or somewhere you can genuinely spend half a day rather than an hour, The Greenhouse is the heavyweight option. The programme adds themed naturist, underwear, bear and fetish sessions, and Friday/Saturday opening stretches to 4am. It is big, cruisy, unapologetically adult and much easier by car than public transport.

What to expect

A very large, full-service gay sauna rather than a compact city spa. Expect a broad age range, extensive wet facilities, lots of cruising space, food and themed adult sessions.

Vibes

Good to know

Practical tips before you visit

Been to Green house Many times with my sexi partner, the sauna takes a little to get your head around to start with but it’s not a problem! There is lots there to do and have fun with. Me And partner found the disco room about 3 visits later lol however all the staff there are so friendly and helpful! Geoff who runs the disco on Friday night is on really nice and genuine guy. We have formed a nice bond with him and his partner Craig, as with all the other staff there. On a personal note note Geoff has gone up and above to get my request fore filled , Geoff is one great genuine guy , thank you Geoff from m & m

Looks like they've started turning or lowering the heating down again, some radiators not on at all. It was freezing on my visit today , alot of money to pay for this kind of ambience. always enjoy my visits but think functioning issues need to be addressed .

Greenhouse Darlaston I’ve been to several saunas around Europe, and this was one of the more disappointing experiences. First, there were no free condoms or lube available, which is something I’ve come to expect as standard in other places. It’s important for hygiene and safety, and not providing them feels irresponsible. I also noticed a lack of basic cleanliness people leaving used items around without consideration for others. Unlike other saunas and gyms, there wasn’t even free drinking water easily accessible on every floor, which is surprising given the price. Also, if you want a second towel, you have to pay extra, which feels a bit cheap considering how much you already pay to enter. The hygiene overall was poor. The carpet on the stairs was dirty you really need to wear slippers. The extractor fans, especially near the jacuzzi, were full of dust, which makes you question how well the rest of the facility is maintained. I didn’t see staff regularly cleaning the areas either. The cabins were very limited (only about 3–5), and they were always occupied. In some cases, the same people were lying there for long periods without staff managing usage, so others didn’t get a chance to use them. The venue itself is quite large, but it doesn’t justify the high price. In my opinion, it’s overpriced for what you get I wouldn’t pay more than £10. Overall, not a great experience compared to other European saunas.

Been many times and The Greenhouse Sauna Darlston it is awesome, facilities are great but it's the staff that makes it awesome,,, after discovering the Disco room Jeff who looks after it is the nicest chap you will ever meet , if you ask for a song he will put it straight on , me and my partner are naturists and we asked him to put on our song which every lyric means so much to us and to dance naked together ment the world to us , Jeff is a total star and he is part of a special moment for me and my partner. However this does apply to all staff ,,,, we love you all.......

Been coming to this sauna for many years. It has good facilities and the staff are great. But recently a few visits have been ruined by people taking drugs and I haven’t felt safe there. Feel the owners need to take drug use more seriously and support people to call out problem use and ask those involved to leave. Some signs to let people know they will be supported if they need to speak up might help. Next time I have a problem with a drug user there I’m just going to call the police myself. Following the above now see some new signs clearly stating that drugs will not be tolerated. Nice to see. So five stars instead of two.
