Houghton Lodge Gardens is a glorious privately-owned property about 2.5 miles from Stockbridge in Hampshire. The gardens have a wide variety of habitats including a traditional walled garden, with herb patches, fruit trees and flowers, a beautifully manicured lawn leading from the house down to the stunning river Test, a field containing alpacas (and now also sheep) and all available (but not the house) to BN members and other naturists throughout the evening. There is also a small greenhouse of orchids and there is often art for sale on the orangery walls.
Of course, there are also the tea rooms, which remain open throughout our evening.
The gardens will remain open to the non-naturist public until 5pm and once the last of the day visitors have left then the site re-opens for naturists. This year the site will re-open for us at 5.30 p.m.
The gardens have asked that those attending remain dressed until they are inside the venue - a designated area will be made available for you to leave your clothes during the visit
Entry will cost £7.50 per person, payable direct on arrival. You cannot book for this event via BN Events
To ensure that the event is ‘CV19 Secure’ the gardens will NOT be accepting cash payments. ONLY CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED
The owner is always very welcoming and the teas, coffees and (especially!) the cakes are a particular highlight of the evening.
It is definitely worth the visit if you live in the local area or want to include the gardens as part of a longer day trip. If you are coming from further afield there are some holiday lets on site which can be rented for the night. These can be arranged directly with the ownervia applerooms@houghtonlodge.co.uk. - subject of course to the latest CV19 restrictions of course!
BN members and other naturistshave been visiting this site every year since 2016 and have always been blessed with glorious weather. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a repeat performance
So why not give it a try this year?All you have to do is turn up, pay the entry, strip off and enjoy!
