Nudefest 2024 is returning to Thorney Lakes in Somerset in June for a celebration of Naturism. To avoid going head-to-head with both Glastonbury traffic and competing for suppliers we have moved our dates to be earlier than usual. Nudefest fuses an incredible line-up of daytime activities with nightly entertainment across multiple venues. Take a look at some of the highlights to get a flavour of what's in store. There is always something to do and at the heart of it all is our great British Naturism community.

Join us for a 9 mile naturist walk starting from the South Western Outdoor Club (SWOC) situated halfway between Dorchester and Yeovil on Wednesday 10th July 2024.
The walk will take in ridge tracks and farmland/ wooded paths via Cerne Abbas with distant views of the famous naked Cerne Giant. The route is of moderate difficulty with several steep hills and some stiles to negotiate. Whilst we will need to be clothed when we leave and return to SWOC itself and at some points during the walk such as in Cerne village, crossing roads &c, it is hoped that much of the walk will be possible in the naturist state. A stop will be made for lunch so please bring a picnic lunch. Tea and coffee will be available in the club house at SWOC before and after the walk, with a small charge of £5 for the use of facilities being made by the club, payable by visitors on the day.
The event is being organised by British Naturism South West Region in association with SWOC. It is open to all members of British Naturism and other naturist (walking) groups; anyone new to naturism or to naturist walking is welcome too. When booking, please state whether you are a member of BN, NatRam or another naturist group or club.
Camping pitches will be available at SWOC if you wish to stay before or after the walk please contact the secretary via email secretaryswoc@gmail.com
You must be fit enough to walk up to nine miles, including moderate hills.
