This Saturday marks World Naked Gardening Day, a global celebration that invites people everywhere to shed their layers and step outside. The simple but powerful idea behind the day is to encourage body acceptance while deepening our connection with the natural world by gardening without clothes. Those values are already at the heart of everyday life for most Naturists. Respect for the human body and harmony with nature are our central principles, so it’s no surprise that the event is widely emb

As members of British Naturism, we all enjoy the many benefits that membership brings. From events and community to advocacy and support, it enriches our Naturist lives in countless ways. But for some, enjoyment goes further. It means stepping up, getting involved and helping to make the things we love happen. Naturism is about creating a more open, respectful world. Knowing that you can help make that change, and positively impact people’s lives, is incredibly rewarding. That is why volunteerin

Following up on the Earth Day theme, there has been some amusing confusion with Naturists booking the Cumbria Nature Festival, thinking it was a Naturist event. In truth Naturism and support for nature are closely aligned so we were quick to reach out through the Daily Mail and offer our endorsement of the festival and the opportunity for a Naturist nature festival in the future. We are keen to work with anybody who shares our views and make the world a better place and the environmental support

Earth Day, the global moment dedicated to environmental protection, is a date British Naturism proudly marks each year. It is more than a symbolic gesture. It reflects values that sit naturally at the heart of Naturism itself. For many, the journey into Naturism begins with a desire for simpler, more natural living. While Naturists are as much a part of modern consumer society as anyone else, there is often a heightened awareness of the environmental impact of everyday choices. That awareness fr

The calendar is filling up fast across the Scotland and Northern England Region (SANER), with two fantastic whole-weekend events offering the perfect excuse to plan a Naturist getaway. Northumberland Naturist Weekend – 18–19 July Visitors will be travelling from across the North East, and beyond, for this ever-popular weekend. Saturday features the Seahouses and Farne Islands Naturist Boat Trip, which last year was memorably accompanied by a pod of dolphins… will they return this time? On Sunday

We are very excited to welcome Steph Durbin to the leadership team of British Naturism. Steph discovered Naturism just three years ago, yet in that short time she has already made a remarkable and lasting contribution. From the outset, she threw herself into club life at Ashdene, quickly becoming a Director and playing a key role in supporting preparations for the club’s 40th anniversary celebrations. Her enthusiasm, commitment and calm capability have not gone unnoticed. Keen to make a differen

Rebookings for our first event of the calendar year – the Bournemouth Weekender – are now complete, and tickets are officially on open sale. If you’ve been waiting for your moment, this is it. January on the south coast might be brisk, but inside the hotel we’ll be turning up the temperature. Think reggae rhythms, full-on summer party energy, and a spectacular tribute to George Michael to close the weekend in style. This is the On The Beach Weekender, even if it’s midwinter outside.

A fascinating new article in Dazed and Confused magazine has taken a look at the challenges facing GenZ and asks whether Naturism could be a powerful antidote to today’s body image crisis. What begins as one writer’s accidental visit to Spielplatz becomes a deeper investigation into self-acceptance, generational change and the quiet radicalism of social nudity. Far from tired stereotypes, the article uncovers a growing number of young people who are embracing Naturism as a way to challenge insec

Naturism is ... Liberating!
"The thought of nudity is scarier than nudity itself"
When you shed your clothes you also shed just a few of the burdens of everyday life.
The feeling of liberation, discovery and freedom is something that you cannot describe.
... Healthy
Our skin benefits from exposure to light and air.
A 2015 survey proved that Naturists have higher self-esteem and better body confidence.
... Friendly
Naturism is great for single people as well as families and children alike – it’s an activity that all the family can do together.
Naturist children are happy, well-adjusted and safe; they grow up with a better understanding of what will happen to their bodies and enjoy a relaxed, outdoor life.
... Active
Holidays, Beaches, Clubs, Swims, Walking, Sporting, Camping and 'Glamping' (and why not!)
Things to do – you’ll wonder how you did without us - come to an event, find your nearest club or swim, go on a Naturist holiday (including group holidays just for BN Members), get involved with the British Naturism members’ online community, and sign up for free newsletters.
... Legal!
We know you were wondering!
There is no offence of 'nudity' in UK law otherwise we wouldn't be here and thousands of people wouldn't cycle naked through our towns and cities each year. But the law can be confusing and some people incorrectly assume that simple nudity can be harmful - especially to children.
Here at BN we campaign to improve the understanding of the law and challenge misconceptions about social nudity.
