TIGH'N ALLUIS - Irish Sweat House

TIGH’N ALLUIS is an Irish sweat house experience in Glencullen, County Dublin, in the hills on the southern edge of the county. Sweat houses, or tithe alluis, were a traditional Irish form of communal heat bathing, and the site offers a chance to take part in a revived version of the practice.

Sessions of this type combine heat, rest and the surrounding upland setting, and are usually booked in advance for small groups. Contact the operator about what to bring, session length and suitability, particularly if you have any health concerns.
