What is Naturism?

19 Dec 2011 02:00 PM | Edward in About Naturism

British Naturism

British Naturism, or “BN”, is the UK’s internationally recognised organisation for naturism and exists to unite and support naturists, to protect naturist places and to help to provide more, make social nudity more acceptable across the UK and to provide comprehensive information on naturism around the world. BN has existed in its present form since 1964, when two naturist societies with their roots in the 1930s joined forces. It is largely a volunteer organisation with most of our people offering their time for free. We represent the UK at the International Naturist Federation (INF).

There is no offence of nudity in English law, and despite there being millions of naturists in the UK, society doesn’t always understand why people would go without clothes and so we have many challenges. We campaign and inform against discrimination, poor laws, Victorian attitudes and misunderstanding and work to make the life of a UK naturist a happier and easier one as well as encouraging many more people to discover the benefits of being without clothes.
