What visitors say
Reviews
Plastic Ivy holds a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on Google, and visitor feedback consistently highlights the welcoming atmosphere, the value for money, and the staff as the venue’s defining strengths.
The staff are the most consistently praised feature across reviews. First-time visitors regularly note being made to feel at ease on arrival, with staff offering a guided tour of the facilities and explaining how things work. For a venue type where many guests arrive nervous and unsure of what to expect, this is frequently cited as a reason for returning.
Visitors describe Plastic Ivy as a relaxed, pressure-free environment — a calmer alternative to larger city-centre saunas. The venue’s compact size is regularly reframed as a positive, creating a more community-focused atmosphere where the emphasis is on approachability rather than scale.
Cleanliness is cited as a clear strength across multiple review platforms. Visitors note that the facilities are well-maintained and that staff are visibly active in cleaning throughout the day.
With evening entry at £12.50, a £5 lifetime membership, and no renewal fees, Plastic Ivy is one of the most affordable gay saunas in the North of England. Reviewers frequently describe it as a sensible, accessible option where the entry price matches what you get.

About
Plastic Ivy – Dewsbury
Plastic Ivy is a gay and bisexual men's sauna at 33 Leeds Road in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire — widely regarded as Yorkshire's busiest. The venue spans two floors with a 5-man spa pool, 8-man sauna cabin, 10-man steam room, private cabins, darkrooms, glory holes, a cinema room, and a licensed café. Open six days a week (closed Tuesdays), 12:00–22:00, with last entry at 21:00. Entry starts from £13.50 in the evenings, and the £5 lifetime membership requires no ID and no real name. Dewsbury train station is an eight-minute walk away with direct trains from Leeds taking eleven minutes, and the M62 (junction 28) and M1 (junction 40) are both a five-minute drive.
Plastic Ivy welcomes trans men and non-binary people who are male-presenting. The venue has a dedicated page on its website setting out its inclusion policy.
Dewsbury sits right in the middle of West Yorkshire, and Plastic Ivy’s Leeds Road location makes it one of the best-connected gay saunas in the region. The M62 is a five-minute drive north and the M1 five minutes east, putting the venue within easy reach of a string of towns and cities in every direction. Huddersfield is about 15 minutes west, Wakefield around 10 minutes south, Bradford roughly 20 minutes north-west, and Barnsley about 25 minutes. Leeds city centre is around 20 minutes by car or a direct train from Dewsbury station, which is an eight-minute walk from the front door.
For men searching for a gay sauna in Dewsbury, a gay sauna near Huddersfield, or a gay sauna near Wakefield, Plastic Ivy is the nearest option. It’s the only gay sauna in the Kirklees district, and its position between the larger cities gives it a catchment that’s broader than the Dewsbury postcode might suggest. The £12.50 evening entry, lifetime £5 membership, and free same-day pass-outs make it a practical choice for repeat visitors who’d rather not make the trip into Leeds or Manchester every time.
