History of Naturism: Open Day Celebration at Spielplatz

On 16 May, Spielplatz, one of the oldest clubs in the country will throw open its doors for a vibrant and activity-packed open day. Situated just outside St Albans, Hertfordshire, Spielplatz is inviting both day visitors and campers to experience its unique 12-acre grounds.

The open day promises a full and varied programme designed to entertain, inspire and introduce newcomers to the welcoming spirit of Naturism.

Among the activities are a relaxing sound and gong bath, lively line dancing sessions, guided tours of the site, and a “friendly” quiz. For those keen to try something different, there will also be an introduction to metal detecting, life drawing and sketching sessions, and even poi spinning demonstrations.

But what makes this event more unique is the history associated with Spielplatz. Visitors will be able to explore archive photographs and watch a rolling showcase of films and television appearances featuring Spielplatz across its near-100-year history. Spielplatz has featured in film making and documentaries for decades, so has a history that is more colourful than any other location in the UK.

Beyond the organised programme, guests can unwind in the club’s outdoor heated swimming pool, relax in the hot tub, stroll through the beautifully maintained grounds or enjoy refreshments from the licensed bar. The day will culminate in a Grand BBQ on the lawn, tickets for which must be booked in advance.

The event is designed to welcome both first-time visitors and returning guests. “If you’ve never been before, this is your chance to discover what makes Spielplatz so special,” organisers say. “And if you have visited in the past, we’d love to see you back.”

Standard day visitor and camping rates apply, while all listed activities are included at no additional charge. However, advance booking is essential for entry and for the BBQ. Prospective visitors are asked to email or complete the contact form via the resort’s website to confirm attendance.
