All members and non-members are invited to join BN’s London and Southeast Region for our annual Christmas Lunch and skittles at the Mill Arms in Dunbridge near Romsey, a charming country pub in Rural Hampshire. We will have exclusive use of the function room at the pub. This is a fully self-contained area with its own bar which will be open throughout the afternoon and toilets which means that it will be possible to be naked throughout the event. You will have a choice of a two or three course meal although you will need to order in advance when you book your ticket.
This will be a great opportunity to catch up with friends and meet new ones in a naturist setting prior to Christmas.
There is a large car park at the pub, and it's only a two-minute walk from Mottisfont and Dunbridge Station, if you'd prefer to leave the car at home and trave by train.
The Mill Arms also has six rooms above the function room which can be booked direct phone 01794 340355 alternatively, please email at themillarms@gmail.com
Please tell them you are attending the BN event as the rooms have been reserved for BN and cannot be booked online.
Tickets will be on sale nearer the date of the event
Should you have any questions about this event, please contact Geoffrey email geoffrey.ryder@bn.org.uk

Event details

Responding to feedback from last year, we have made positive changes to this year’s Christmas Meal:
A new location which is more central to the region so that more people can attend.
A lunchtime meal so people who travel a long way away can get there and back in a day.
At a naturist club which will benefit BN members who have never visited a club before.
We are pleased to announce the Eastern Region Christmas meal will be at Blackthorns Sun Club near Bedford.
Address: Riseley Road, Sharnbrook, Bedford, MK44 1NE
Date: Saturday 12 December 2026
Arrival from: Noon.
Meal start: 13:00 – 13:30
Leave by:  17:00
This is a clothing optional event exclusive to BN members and their guests whom they must accompany. Limited to 48 people.
Blackthorns are going to a lot of trouble to host this event including decorating the room, background music, crackers on the table and a raffle. It is important we respect their club rules and this includes on arrival you must produce your Ticket, BN membership card and photo identification.
A booking form to select our menu options, together with arrival instructions, will be emailed after payment is made.
Book early as we need to reach a threshold of ticket sales by 1 November for the event to be viable. Tickets are non-refundable unless cancelled by BN.
