With National Spa Week on the horizon, now might be the perfect time to indulge yourself and take a break from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.
The week, which runs from October 30 until November 5, aims to raise public awareness of the physical, mental and emotional benefits regular spa attendance can offer.
For some parts of Europe, regular spa attendance for the whole family is seen as a cultural norm. In the UK, we still tend to view it as a 'once in a blue moon' treat rather than a weekly or monthly essential.
Our 21st century lives are fast paced, more digitally influenced and busier than ever before. In the same way regular gym attendance keeps us physically fit, spas up and down the country want the public to realise that regular spa attendance is an effective way to help combat the long-term effects of everyday stress we have become accustomed to. So, which spas are there available to you in Burton and South Derbyshire?
