This event repeats every week on Sunday until 15/12/19
Naturist London is a group of volunteers whose aim is to promote drop-in, inclusive naturist events in London with administrative support from BN. The regular Sunday Swim is our signature event and extremely popular. It is just like going to an ordinary public swimming pool except that costumes are banished. Unlike many traditional naturist venues, there is no booking, no membership and no commitment. You are welcome to just turn up whether or not you consider yourself a committed naturist.
Approximately once a month, BN member Emma James comes along to help with the swim and coordinate a pre-swim meet up for ladies. She also plans to organise, less frequently, an extended social programme around the swim to make a "day out in London" for those who have to travel some distance. You can contact Emma and get more details by following this link to the Naturist London Ladies Zone.
We look forward to seeing you at Naturist London. Further details can be found here.

East Sussex Naturists (ENS) is a progressive group attached to the Eastbourne Naturist Swim Club (ENSC) who organise events other than swimming. ENSC has been running for over 35 years in Eastbourne and still meets on a Sunday at the Motcombe Pool. ENS organises events across the county and has been running naked yoga classes in Hastings for about a year, but also arranges events such as this year's naked tenpin bowling and visits to art galleries from Eastbourne to Hastings and even in London.
Our instructor has taught yoga for over 20 years and has a British Wheel of Yoga Teaching Diploma and has been taking our naturist group Hatha yoga since 2018. The classes are inclusive, welcoming, relaxed and for all ages and abilities.
You will get a gentle introduction to the most basic yoga postures and will leave the class feeling looser and relaxed. The benefits of yoga practise include an increase in flexibility, strengthening the muscles and so decreasing your risk of injury. This is done by stretching and twisting in ways our day to day activities do not provide. Also stress levels are lowered, your fitness increases, the immune system is boosted and your mood improves.
Our classes are social events so we practise for an hour and then have tea and cake, so the cost is £10 or £16 for couples. Plenty of free parking right outside.
Email naturistswim@gmx.com or RSVP for more details.
Future dates are 16th October and then fortnightly (2-4 p.m.)

This will be a discussion about the aspirations, ideas, issues and sharing of solutions with the aims of establishing networks, enthusing & empowering local initiatives and transferring good practice. The aim is to give all British Naturism members and Club members an opportunity to share there views, so that we can collectively plan the future of Britsh Naturism and all naturism in the UK.
It is aimed to appeal to anyone who is a leader, organiser or key volunteer (or wishes to be one, or just wants to listen).
Many such people are involved in the BN Regions or organise within their club, we hope to engage this experience into the broader UK naturist network in order to expand and sustain the great progress that is happening.
This is all about optimising physical and people resources, coming together effectively, empowering volunteers and broadening engagement both inside and outside of organised Naturism.
You are strongly encouraged to book to attend and be a key part of the British Naturism’s success story!
‘Facilitating the next step’: Strengthening unity is essential to maintain our positive journey.
The day will run as a structured discussion workshop, it will address a range of issues, such as the following:
- UK Naturism today and influencing its evolution.
- Sharing innovative local success stories.
- Share your new ideas and initiatives.
- Creating grassroots activity and events.
- What do the Regions, Clubs and Members need from BN?
- Facilitating volunteering of skills.
- Networking together and optimising available resources.
Tickets must be booked in advance at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/britishnaturism/291171# - Tickets are FREE or £5.00 including lunch (lunch must be booked in advance)
Camping accommodation is available at Sun-folk on both the Friday and Saturday nights and can be booked with the tickets, rather than Sun-folk itself for this event.
These Vision Days replaces the National Convention, this is the second and targets the LASER and Eastern regions, following a successful first day for the YEM and NW Regions.
However, it is open to ALL BN Members and (also) BN Club members. We hope to run further days next year to target the South West and SANER regions to ensure all members stay engaged.
