    Sophie and her team at Houghton Lodge Gardens are delighted to welcome BN members and other naturists back to enjoy a naturist evening, following successful events over the last few years.
    The gardens will open for naturist visitors from 5:30 p.m., and will remain open until 8:30 p.m. - entrance to the gardens will be priced at £10.50 per person. 
    Please note that this event is not directly organised by BN, so no pre-booking is required. You can simply pay on arrival using either cash or card
    The gardens themselves are a delightful mixture of formal planting and more natural settings, and include direct access to the banks of the River Test
    There is ample parking available at the gardens, which are located close to Stockbridge in Hampshire. You can find more information about the gardens including directions on their website 
    Whilst the Houghton Lodge team are very supportive of naturism, they ask that visitors remain dressed until they are inside the gardens - there will be an area to undress and leave clothes inside the gardens. Thanks for your understanding on this point
    Non naturist friends and partners are also welcome at the event, providing of course that they are respectful of naturist visitors at all times
    Unfortunately, following a change in catering company the tea room at Houghton Lodge will NOT be open on the evening. We are organising some hot and cold drinks to be available but suggest you may like to bring your own picnic this time.
    Please feel free to contact @Colin Taylor by PM or at Colin.taylor@bn.org.uk for more information 
    There will also be a a NatRam walk on Tuesday 11 June, a BN-led joint NatRam naturist walk and dinner and skittles evening on 13 June - you might want to make a longer trip and join all four events!

    Join BN’s London and South East Regional team and the Naturist Ramblers as we return to the Mill Arms in Dunbridge for an evening of dinner and skittles
    We will have exclusive use of the function room at the pub. This is a fully self-contained area with its own bar and toilets which means that it will be possible to be naked throughout the event. Car parking is available behind the pub, but it is only two minutes’ walk from Dunbridge & Mottisfont Station, so why not leave the car at home and enjoy a few drinks!
    The Mill Arms also has six rooms above the function room which can be booked alongside your ticket for the dinner. These are available on 12 and 13 June and include a full breakfast. Our host at the pub is happy for guests to remain naked for breakfast should they wish
    If you want to make the most of your trip to Dunbridge, don’t forget that there will also be a naturist evening at the nearby Houghton Lodge gardens on Wednesday 12 June, and an 11-mile naturist walk leaving from the Mill Arms on 13 June
    Should you have any questions about this event, please contact the event organiser Colin Taylor by email in the first instance. You can contact Colin at colin.taylor@bn.org.uk
    Once we have finalised menus and costs we will announce the booking link for the BN shop for tickets.

    Celebrate World Naked Hiking Day by joining us for a 6 mile midsummer's day walk on the South Downs near Polegate in East Sussex.
    Note, this walk is one day before BN's WNHD walks!  Some define WNHD as the same day as Summer Solstice, which is 20th June in this 2024 leap year.  But BN has agreed on the set date of 21st June every year (which makes sense) . So this year, you can enjoy WNHD twice - warm up with Stark Trekkers on the 20th, then join one of the BN walks the 21st.
    See our website www.naturistramblers.co.uk for details.
