British Naturism

About
British Naturism, often shortened to BN, is the official naturist organisation the United Kingdom. Most of Britain's naturist clubs and campsites are affiliated with, or are members of, BN. They also have many individuals who hold membership. They often put together naturist-oriented events such as Nudefest, the Great British Skinny Dip and the Alton Towers Naturist Weekend. They formed in 1964 as the Central Council for British Naturism (or CCBN), and they formed as a merger of the British Sun Bathers Association and their rival organisation, the Federation of British Sun Clubs. In 2009, they officially changed their name to British Naturism, as they had been frequently referred to as such for a few years prior.

Since their formation, British Naturism have been able to the government to change the laws regarding nudity, thus enabling naturists to use public baths for nude swim events, and to enable legalised public nudity.

They also run campaigns including the Great British Skinny Dip, Women in Naturism and Bare All for Polar Bears.

In 2020, during the Coronavirus Pandemic, Andrew Welch has claimed that membership requests to British Naturism have tripled, since more people are taking part in naturist activites or spending time naked while in lockdown.
