A Guide to Vegan Spa Days & Treatments

Pure, Plant-Based Bliss, A Vegan Spa Journey at Barnham Broom

The number of people adopting a vegan lifestyle is at an all-time high. While once considered a niche choice, it has moved into the mainstream as more people align their diets with their personal values and health goals.

In an era where wellness and conscious living go hand-in-hand, finding a sanctuary that respects both your body and your values is essential.

Here is why a vegan spa day is the ultimate choice for the conscious traveller:

Animal Ethics & “Cruelty-Free” Calm

True relaxation is easier when you know your massage oils and facials are 100% free from animal testing and animal-derived ingredients like lanolin or beeswax.

The Power of Plant-Based Radiance

Vegan skincare brands, like ESPA, use concentrated botanical extracts. This efficacy is perfectly showcased through high-performance products like the Replenishing Face Treatment Oil and Pro-Moisturiser, which work in tandem to hydrate and protect. The sensory experience continues with the Yuzu & Ginger Sorbet Cleanser, designed to melt away impurities, and signature Body Oils that soothe the skin using pure essential oil blends. To ensure head-to-toe revitalisation, the mineral-rich Pink Hair & Scalp Mud uses red clay and watercress to nourish and strengthen, proving that ethical, plant-based ingredients can deliver truly luxurious results.

Reduced Skin Irritation

By stripping away animal by-products and harsh chemical stabilisers, vegan treatments are often much gentler on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of redness or breakouts post-facial.

Detoxifying for the Planet

The beauty industry can have a heavy environmental footprint. Choosing a spa that uses vegan, sustainably sourced products helps reduce water waste and deforestation associated with animal-based ingredients.

Holistic Wellness from Within

A vegan spa day at Barnham Broom includes a plant-based lunch or afternoon tea. These meals are naturally anti-inflammatory and high in fibre, preventing the “sluggish” feeling that can follow a heavy meal and keeping your energy levels high.

Sustainable Self-Care

Many vegan-friendly spas also prioritise eco-friendly practices, such as biodegradable towels and plastic-free packaging, ensuring your “me-time” is as kind to the earth as it is to your body.

A “Clean Slate” Mentality

Whether you’re doing Veganuary or a digital detox, a vegan spa day acts as a physical and mental reset. It’s an opportunity to experience how high-performance botanical products can outperform traditional alternatives.

Mindful Living

Many people use a vegan spa day as a taster session for a more plant-based life. It’s an easy, low-pressure way to see how your body reacts to high-quality vegan skincare and with our tailored afternoon tea or two course lunch, you can get feel to if this could be a catalyst for healthier long-term habits.

Whether you are a lifelong vegan, participating in Veganuary, or simply looking to detoxify your beauty routine, our vegan spa day offers a high-performance, ethical escape from the everyday. By using plant-based products and offering a choice of vegan cuisines, our Rest and Rebalance Vegan Journey offers a curated experience, combining the botanical brilliance of ESPA with the tranquil beauty of the Norfolk countryside, and guilt-free and delicious dining.

Unifies Digital Brand Experience, Merging All Existing Facebook Pages into Streamlined Identity

October 20, 2025 – Barnham Broom, today announced a major strategic step in its broader rebrand initiative: the consolidation of all legacy “Facebook Pages” into a single, unified presence that will operate under the new corporate identity across all platforms.

The move is designed to eliminate fragmented branding, simplify content creation, and provide businesses, creators, and public figures with a more cohesive digital footprint. Existing Facebook Pages ( The Spa at Barnham Broom, Timeshare and The Edge at Barnham Broom) content, followers, and historical data will be seamlessly integrated into the new, standardized identity format, which emphasizes cross-platform performance and a streamlined user management experience.

“This is more than just a name change; it’s a commitment to clarity and focus for our customers” said “For too long, the seperate digital identities has created unnecessary complexity. By merging the functionality of Pages into a single, powerful, and intuitive new identity structure, we are making it easier for every brand and creator to connect authentically and efficiently with their audience, ensuring their presence is consistent wherever they engage with us.”

The transition, which will begin rolling out in a phased approach starting 20.10.2025, promises several key benefits:

  • Simplified Management: Content scheduling, analytics, and community moderation will be centralized under one umbrella, reducing the need to toggle between different account types.
  • Unified Reach: Audience data and insights will reflect the total reach across the entire digital ecosystem of [New Company Name], offering clearer ROI metrics for advertisers and marketers.
  • Future-Proof Identity: The new structure is built to integrate with upcoming features and virtual experiences, ensuring a frictionless transition into the next generation of social technology.

Barnham Broom will be providing comprehensive guides, video tutorials, and dedicated support teams to assist all Page administrators through the consolidation process over the next six months.

Discover Luxury Spa Treatments and Packages

Ready to swap the daily grind for pure relaxation? Whether you’re searching for a quick spa day, planning overnight spa breaks for couples, or looking for the ultimate mum to be spa day to treat a friend or family member, finding the perfect local retreat is the first step to blissful well-being. Our hand-picked selection of luxury spa treatments and packages ensures every visit is an unforgettable journey to tranquillity here at The Spa at Barnham Broom.

The Best Treatments for Every Need

Finding the right spa treatment near me can be overwhelming, so we’ve put together a guide to some of our most popular services, recommended by our Spa Therapists, guaranteed to leave you feeling pampered and rejuvenated.

ESPA Back, Face & Scalp Treatment

The ESPA Back, Face & Scalp Treatment, widely recognised as the ESPA ‘Hero’ treatment, is the definitive choice for those seeking total rejuvenation in one single, comprehensive service. This multi-stage therapy is a masterclass in holistic pampering, expertly designed to address the most common areas of tension and stress simultaneously. The restorative journey begins with essential body care: a thorough back exfoliation immediately followed by a deeply tension-relieving back massage. This focused attention effectively melts away muscle tightness, bringing comfort and relief to your shoulders and back and setting the perfect foundation for the rest of your experience.

The treatment seamlessly transitions into luxury with a fully personalised facial. Leveraging ESPA’s high-performance products, your therapist custom-tailors the steps to your skin’s exact needs, whether for hydration, balance, or radiance, guaranteeing you leave with a brighter, clearer complexion. The grand finale is a profoundly calming scalp massage, offering a moment of quiet bliss perfect for clearing the mind (with the added option of intensely nourishing Pink Hair Mud).

This all-encompassing ‘Hero’ treatment, described by Nicole as “A touch of all treatments to invigorate with soothing, calming aspects,” delivers deep therapeutic results for your body, face, and mind, promising a complete sense of well-being that will leave you feeling fully restored and utterly spoilt.

Luxury Hot Stone Massage

Indulge in the Luxury Hot Stone Massage, a profoundly therapeutic treatment that uses the soothing power of nature to melt away stress and muscle tension.

Smooth, heated basalt stones are the centrepiece of this experience, delivering gentle yet deep heat therapy that penetrates muscle tissue to reduce pain and stiffness far more effectively than traditional methods alone. The warmth of the stones is seamlessly combined with skilled massage techniques to promote ultimate relaxation throughout the body.

As Abi highlights, this is “A warming treatment that instantly promotes relaxation,” but it’s far more than just a body massage; it includes a delicate facial cleanse, face, and scalp massage to ensure a truly holistic and full-body experience that leaves you feeling deeply calm, restored, and completely pampered.

Personalised ESPA Facial

Facials at the spa are a deeply personalised and therapeutic experience, starting with a meticulous SkinVision™ analysis to precisely determine your complexion’s current condition and specific needs. This essential diagnostic step ensures that every subsequent stage is perfectly tailored to you, delivering maximum benefit. The treatment itself is a comprehensive ritual of skin renewal, incorporating thorough cleansing and targeted exfoliation to prepare the skin, followed by a deeply relaxing and circulation-boosting massage.

Next, an intensive mask is applied to treat specific concerns, before the final step of a potent, targeted intensive serum locks in the goodness. As Chloe aptly notes, the treatment truly elevates the experience beyond your daily routine by incorporating facial and scalp massage, actively covering areas you wouldn’t do at home, making the entire process feel like pure luxury.

Hopi Ear Candling

The ancient holistic practice of Hopi Ear Candling offers a profoundly relaxing and therapeutic experience, perfect for those seeking natural relief from sinus pressure and congestion. This treatment involves using hollow, natural beeswax candles—which are carefully placed just inside the ear canal—to create a gentle vacuum effect.

This subtle suction helps to draw out superficial impurities and accumulated debris, promoting a cleaner ear canal. Beyond this clearing action, many people find the treatment exceptionally helpful for relieving chronic sinus pressure and discomfort. As Claire notes, it’s a “great holistic treatment” that can even help clients “prepare [their] ears prior to flying” due to its ability to soothe and address ear discomfort. The warm, comforting nature of the practice ensures a deeply calming experience, leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and wonderfully relaxed.

  • Signature Treatments and Therapies: The spa features five treatment rooms and uses premium products from ESPA, Jessica (for nails).

CHARITY GOLF DAY 2025

On Friday the 10th October, Barnham Broom hosted a Grand Charity Event at the golf club.

The event was held to raise vital funds for two incredible charities and is the 27th year that the golf day has been held for Macmillan Nurses raising over £320,000 on the way.

This year EACH was added to the fundraising effort for the first time.

Supported Charities

Macmillan Cancer Support, who provide physical, emotional, and financial support to people living with cancer and their families.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH): provides vital care and support to children and young people with life-threatening conditions and their families across East Anglia.

Event Registration and Start

Players arrived at 10am in time for registration where they were treated to bacon rolls and much needed tea & coffee.

Teams were welcomed by Graham and the Barnham Broom team, and the Barford Suite was set up with tables of goodies, on show for guests to bid on via raffles and silent auctions including over 60 rounds of golf which had been donated from many golf clubs, both local and countrywide. Enjoying some beautiful, late-summer weather (a real treat for October!), 100 golfers teed off on the Championship Valley Course. The team names were a highlight, too, ranging from the excellent—’Rice Rice Baby,’ ‘The Norfolk Turnips,’ and ‘Keys & his Caddies’—to the truly unprintable

Teams started by warming up on the practice ground before gathering for the 11:30 am shotgun start. The day also offered an incredible incentive: a chance to win a brand-new car during the round. The catch? Golfers had to make a hole-in-one on the difficult 17th of the Valley course, generously sponsored by Desira Group PLC. After a complimentary glass of prosecco though on the tee, that challenge might have been a bit more tricky!

Nicky’s Legendary Cakes

Meanwhile, attendees could grab a cake and drink from the halfway hut in return for a small donation.

There was a huge variety of homemade baked goodies to choose from kindly prepared by Nicky—think lemon drizzle, carrot cake, bakewell and even rocky road!

Every single donation counts and Nicky’s cakes have become legendary over previous events!

Evening Gathering and Thanks

After a fantastic round of golf, everyone gathered for a well-deserved treat: a two-course meal, prize giving, and a fun raffle. However, what truly mattered was the money raised on the day for Macmillan and EACH.

Thanks to everyone digging deep for raffle tickets and cakes, You can still contribute by bidding in the silent auction, which stays open until the end of October.

Graham Knights added: “I never cease to be amazed by the generosity displayed by all those connected with the day in what are very difficult financial times for many. My sponsors continue to support me every year which is greatly appreciated and my team of volunteers giving up their time to help two amazing charities means we are able to make a real difference to the lives of those people in need of help. I firmly believe that our efforts to fundraise really does help, especially Macmillan Nurses in Norfolk where the funds are designated and also this year to the Nook where some wonderful work is carried out helping sick children and their families every day.. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported the day in some way, this year and in previous years..”

We would like to give a special thanks to Debbie, for planning and co-ordinating the event alongside Graham, the local Ambassador for Macmillan, the volunteers helping to make the day a success by investing their time and energy all day and our main sponsors: Artisan Drinks, MCB Financial Services and DMD Installations.

The turn out and support received on the days is a testament to the power of community and a shared desire to help those facing incredibly difficult circumstances. Everyone at Barnham Broom wants to say a huge thank you once more from the bottom of our hearts. Your swing might be a little rusty, but your compassion is absolutely golden!
