About BN

British Naturism needs more First Aiders for regional events! If providing first aid to those who need it is to your liking, why not train to become a volunteer First Aider? Here’s the deal!  BN will provide you with FREE Emergency First Aid at Work training and you become a First Aid volunteer with BN for three years. The course will be held on Saturday 29 March 2025 (9.30 for 10.00am to 5.00pm) at the Ashdene Naturist Club, which is located midway between Halifax and Huddersfield wit

BN's SANER region welcome you to The Gathering 2025, 12 - 15 May. There will be full lineup of entertainment over the three nights including the return of the world-famous Burns in the Buff Supper and our ever-popular Reely Jiggered Band. We have an exclusive Naturist visit to the medieval village made famous in the popular Outlander TV series, plus a diamond-glitzed masquerade ball. The good news is that a few rooms are still available - book your place now!

We like to bring you news stories of forthcoming events - it spreads the word, encourages more people to book and shows just how vibrant the Naturist scene is in the UK. However - I'm happy to say - there are far too many to promote them all individually and so here is a complete list of all the events happening over just the next couple of weeks and big events taking place later. Enjoy! And don't forget that we are always looking for reports on great gatherings for the magazine and elsewhere...

Last week we relaunched BN’s fab Naked Fitness sessions for 2025 with a new payment structure and an additional class. And now you may be considering whether to sign up for a fitness or yoga class. As someone who’s been taking what I call “nudie yoga” since lock-down, let me encourage you to jump in. I had taken a (non-naked) yoga class for years but had lost interest in yoga until Covid came along. At that point, BN stepped up to the plate and began offering fitness classes and I thought,

Busy? Yeah, me too. Little time to check this website for news from your favourite Naturist organisation? I can see some of you nodding.  Well, have you signed up for our weekly ezine?

The Forum Live, BN's own online 'chat show' was created by Mark Walsh during the early days of lockdown, in March 2020. Conscious that our live, in-person events were likely to be jeopardised by the pandemic, we sought ways to keep our members engaged with British Naturism and delivered a host of online activities, including a range of fitness classes and conversation-based gatherings. It was an instant hit, leading to an increase in members, including a large number of overseas Naturists w

British Naturism is a busy organisation, working on many fronts to provide services to members and make life better for all Naturists. The backbone of our activity is the many and varied events we offer giving Naturists the opportunity to enjoy naked activities in a safe, welcoming space and share their enjoyment with like-minded people. We’ve worked particularly hard this autumn to make ALL next year’s events available for booking in one go, and many months before they happen, allowing you

The great people from Nuud gum (nuudgum.com) - a plant-based, and therefore environmentally-friendly chewing gum - approached us some months ago with a view to collaborating on publicity and promotion. In October, around fifteen Naturists spent a fabulous day in central London with the Nuud crew, creating videos and still images for a campaign that has now been launched on Instagram. You'll see that far from being 'just' the cast, the profile of British Naturism and our involvement is high

As we approach the end of the year, it’s a time to look back at some of the great experiences we will have enjoyed as Naturists and BN members in 2024, and start making plans for 2025.
