British Naturism: Sunfolk reopens on April 3rd, and yesterday we looked at the hot tub and sauna to show why it’s a great place to visit even before the summer heat arrives. But they’re not the only highlights, so what else makes Sunfolk such an appealing destination as early as April? Swimming Pool If you prefer a little movement as part of your relaxation, the swimming pool is likely to be your favourite spot. The pool is both heated and covered, meaning it’s ready to go from the moment we ope

Even before the summer heat arrives, Sunfolk is a great place to visit, so let’s take a look at what’s on offer for early-season visitors. The Hot Tub Hot tubs are actually at their best when the surrounding air is a little cooler. Submerging your body in the hot water while feeling the fresh spring air pinch your face is one of the most invigorating sensations you can experience. The large-capacity hot tub also makes it a very social space. Many visitors can use it at the same time, chatting an

How full-body connection with nature could benefit both mind and body Spending time in nature is widely known to boost wellbeing, but Naturism may take those benefits even further. By removing the barrier of clothing, the body can fully experience air, sunlight, and the natural environment, deepening relaxation, mindfulness, and overall connection. Research already links Naturism to improved body image and mental health. But emerging science suggests there may also be physical benefits. Natural
Naturism is ... Liberating!
"The thought of nudity is scarier than nudity itself"
When you shed your clothes you also shed just a few of the burdens of everyday life.
The feeling of liberation, discovery and freedom is something that you cannot describe.
... Healthy
Our skin benefits from exposure to light and air.
A 2015 survey proved that Naturists have higher self-esteem and better body confidence.
... Friendly
Naturism is great for single people as well as families and children alike – it’s an activity that all the family can do together.
Naturist children are happy, well-adjusted and safe; they grow up with a better understanding of what will happen to their bodies and enjoy a relaxed, outdoor life.
... Active
Holidays, Beaches, Clubs, Swims, Walking, Sporting, Camping and 'Glamping' (and why not!)
Things to do – you’ll wonder how you did without us - come to an event, find your nearest club or swim, go on a Naturist holiday (including group holidays just for BN Members), get involved with the British Naturism members’ online community, and sign up for free newsletters.
... Legal!
We know you were wondering!
There is no offence of 'nudity' in UK law otherwise we wouldn't be here and thousands of people wouldn't cycle naked through our towns and cities each year. But the law can be confusing and some people incorrectly assume that simple nudity can be harmful - especially to children.
Here at BN we campaign to improve the understanding of the law and challenge misconceptions about social nudity.
