Old news...
Nudefest 2020 will again be held at Thorney Lakes Campsite near Langport in Somerset.
The team are working to provide another fantastic festival with many activities which are old favourites (think yoga, pilates, archery, clay pigeon shooting, craft, 5/10K run and meet and greets to name but a few) and new ones too.
Thanks to liaison with the Somerset Tourist Office we have secured a visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum. This will come with the option to have a buffet under the wings of Concorde 002, the first British Concorde.
We will also welcome back the mobile climbing wall which was so popular in 2019 - if you missed out in previously or want to perfect your technique you will have another opportunity in 2020.
Keep an eye on the Forum and the nudefest.co.uk website when it relaunches for the 2020 event. Booking is available on the BN Events website and we'll be sure to let you know here too.
