Splash into Happiness: Celebrate International Day of Happiness at Splash
14th March 2025
With the International Day of Happiness approaching on the 20th of March, there is no better place to spend it than Splash, which has brought happiness to thousands of people over the years!
The International Day of Happiness was established by the United Nations to remind everyone that being happy is a human right and is worth celebrating. The day is primarily associated with the work done by the nonprofit group Action for Happiness, which is an official partner of the United Nations. The ultimate goal of the movement is to spread awareness that progress isn’t just about encouraging economic growth but human well-being and happiness.
There aren’t many better ways to boost happiness than spending your day at a waterpark, especially Splash! From bouncy Aquapark and quiet Kayaking to relaxing Wood-fired Saunas and cold-water plunges, Splash has always played a key role in promoting happiness and well-being in the local area and beyond. At Splash, happiness isn’t just a one-day celebration – it’s at the heart of everything we do!
Jump Into Joy: Aquapark
What can be more fun than bouncing, jumping, and tumbling around a massive inflatable obstacle course on a natural lake? Our Aquapark is a playground of smiles, laughter, and pure joy. It features various obstacles and slides, with each part of the Aquapark offering a new type of fun! Whether you’re laughing and enjoying your time on the Aquapark with friends and family or as part of a youth/school group, each session is guaranteed to release plenty of endorphins.
Endorphins are natural hormones in your body that help with pain, stress, and mood and are specifically released during pleasurable activities, such as exercise and laughter, things which are combined in a typical Aquapark session.
The benefits of releasing endorphins are the obvious pain relief, stress relief, and improved mood, but they can also help with self-esteem, weight management, and even an improved immune response!
Our Aquapark season starts on the 18th of April, and bookings are already open. What are you waiting for? Book your session now and get those endorphins flowing!
Dive into Serenity: Open-water Swimming
Swimming is a healthy activity, but combined with a natural setting, it becomes an extraordinary experience. The rhythmic motion of swimming, together with Splash’s natural water and serene green scenery, provides a deeply mindful experience, helping swimmers disconnect from the stresses of daily life. Open-water swimming is beginner-friendly and accessible, suitable even for those new to swimming in natural waters.
Regular open-water swimming can increase prolactin hormone levels, enhancing sleep quality. Scientifically-proven benefits also include reductions in tension, anger, and anxiety, leaving swimmers feeling healthier and happier.
Our new Open-water Swim season at Splash starts in April, so get in touch with our head office at 028 8674 8881 to sign up! Besides the mental health benefits, you will also get 50% off our saunas, 20% off food and drink from Top Deck and Sipway, as well as discounts for select Splash events.
Experience Blissful Relaxation: Wood-fired Saunas
A wood-fired sauna session offers profound relaxation, accompanied by numerous mental health benefits. Regular sauna visits have been proven to reduce stress, elevate mood, alleviate pain, and even lower dementia risks. Unique to Splash’s sauna experience is the scenic, tranquil environment, allowing guests to fully unwind while releasing beneficial hormones such as endorphins and serotonin, ultimately enhancing sleep quality and overall happiness.
Ready to turn Splash’s sauna sessions into your new ritual for mental clarity? Enjoy our current well-being offer at £20 per person, including a relaxing sauna session and a delicious breakfast from our Top Deck eatery – a true happiness bundle! Book now by calling our head office at 028 8674 8881.
Glide into Mindfulness: Paddleboards & Kayaks
Paddleboarding and kayaking offer unique ways to explore nature while providing substantial physical and mental benefits. These gentle yet engaging activities enhance cardiovascular health, improve balance, and strengthen core muscles. These activities are not only excellent for physical fitness, but paddleboarding and kayaking can significantly reduce stress, promote relaxation, and foster mindfulness, with the rhythmic motion of paddling being almost meditative, helping you clear your mind and allowing you to be present and connected to the stunning natural environment at Splash.
Imagine gliding peacefully across pristine waters, surrounded by lush greenery, feeling completely at peace and rejuvenated. Don’t hesitate and book your very own mindfulness session now!
