The only resource you need to find Naturist events! The number of Naturist events has grown exponentially over the years and event listings were found on many different websites. This made it tricky for potential attendees to know where to find what they were looking for – and those that were just browsing could easily miss events they would have liked to have known about! We’ve now brought them all together in one place so that you can find and browse all UK events, big and small. The

We are now enjoying the 7th year of the monthly Great British Skinny Dip hosted by the Wigton Pool, Cumbria, since the inaugural event on the 10th November 2018. If you are planning to attend the 88th event there tomorrow, Saturday 8th March, please note that the new road is now open!  Please be aware that the new route is now the only route. You'll find a map with easy to follow arrows and other details about the event here - see you there!  

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 Saturday, we returned to Tank Space, the water-based photography studio that creates the opportunity to shoot photographs underwater in the glass-fronted water tank or create scenes in the rain room that include the use of falling water and reflections in the standing pool.  Many members joined us as we created sets that included rock bands, Greek gods, singing in the rain and many mermen and mermaids.  The studio manager, Halo, who hosted us last year had such a good time that this year sh

British Naturism had another fantastic week at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC in Birmingham.  As one of the UK’s largest exhibitions, the event attracts around 100,000 visitors, and with our prime stand location, many, if not all, of them saw Naturism presented as a camping option. This year, our stand underwent a complete transformation, featuring our striking neon EveryBody sign against a leafy backdrop and live screens showcasing dynamic content rather than static i

There is good news from Shaftesbury Lido, where nude swims are hosted by the town council for the 2025 summer season, says BN member Nigel. The plan is to have weekly swims every Tuesday evening once the season begins.  In 2023 the Lido had a Naked Swim once a month; in 2024 it increased to two sessions a month and in 2025, following many requests from our naturist swimmers, it will be a weekly session. The season opening, however, depends on vital improvements to the pool being comple

Corton beach, a few miles north of Lowestoft in Suffolk, has been a Naturist destination for decades, writes Eastern Region Organiser, Nigel Newman, but something happened recently that almost reads like a script from a TV sit-com. In this episode, the Parish Council take it upon themselves to stop Naturism at their local beach. They came up with the idea of a no-nonsense notice (see below) which asserts their authority, ending with the words “By Order of Corton Parish Council”. The notice doesn

Harrogate, Yorkshire. Betty's Tea Rooms. A massive annual literary festival. Jaw-dropping architecture and a beautiful Victorian Turkish Baths. Wouldn't it be lovely if the latter was available for nude use? Well it is - and there are sessions coming up in February (update - sold out!) and March which we're sure you won't want to miss! The relationship between the baths and the Naturist group that hire it hasn't always been easy even if the original idea of such a venue was to cleanse
