If you are reading this it means you are already taking an interest in the activities of the UK’s Naturist organisation. Thank you!
You’ll already be aware of:
- the range of fantastic events that we host across the country and the others we support and promote
- the work we do in educating the general public and people in authority to the fact that public nudity is a perfectly lawful activity in the UK (and the help we give to people and venues when this isn’t understood)
- the resources we provide to all those interested in social nudity including our annual guide to Naturism, our information leaflet for walkers and other Naturists in public areas, news stories on our website and information and links on our social media platforms - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
- the research that we have commissioned which proves—scientifically—that Naturism is good for every body and leads to improvements in body image
- the online classes and sessions we run—over 100 a month—allowing Naturists to get together, be entertained and keep fit in mind and body without leaving home
- how hard we work to promote Naturism and body-positivity to the world, via the press, TV and radio, stands at exhibitions and projects like the Great British Skinny Dip
- opportunities to volunteer and gain satisfaction—and more!—from helping Naturism in the UK to thrive
- our acquisition of British Naturism: Sunfolk and our plans to create a centre of excellence for nude recreation
It benefits all Naturists in the UK - but did you know that we rely on the annual subscriptions of our members to make all this happen?
It’s not all one way, our members receive many benefits including:
- reduced price tickets on many events
- exclusive access to member-only events, with no extra charge for our online community sessions
- an information-packed magazine every quarter
- 24/7 access to our members’ forum with discussion topics, picture galleries and downloads
- the opportunity to apply for volunteering opportunities
But, much more than that, BN membership is about being part of the wider Naturist scene. When you’re a BN member you know you’re a fundamental part of a community, helping to support the practice of Naturism, allowing it to thrive, open more doors and helping others realise the life-affirming benefits of social nudity.
And it costs less than £4 a month to join
Let me give you an example of what BN did for me during the endless COVID-19 lockdowns.
Although I’d been a BN member for some years, I hadn’t done anything with my membership and had pretty much given up on Naturism – mostly from inertia. But when COVID hit, everything changed.
I discovered BN’s online yoga class and community events, and they were just what I needed to keep me sane. They renewed my interest in being clothes-free and, when we could all emerge into the light, I ventured out to some Great British Skinny Dips. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to be naked!
And when BN asked for volunteers, I jumped at the chance. As a journalist, I can help spread the word about the joys and benefits of Naturism -- and the good work British Naturism does to promote and safeguard them. Not to mention the satisfaction of belonging to an organisation that’s focused on health, body positivity and friendliness.

So, if you are reading this and you’re not been a member, please put that right and come and be part of our fast-growing community. You can join online now!
