The largest naturist event in the UK will be returning to Somerset next month. Nudefest be held at Thorney Lakes Caravan Park in Thorney from July 4-11 by British Naturism. People up and down the country and further afield annually head to the festival to partake in some leisure time, free of clothes.
The event has been held at Thorney Lakes, near Langport, since 2016. However, in 2020 the festival was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. It returned in July 2021 with tickets having gone on sale at the start of this year for 2022's instalment.
There are a variety of ticket options on offer for naturists wishing to attend, including three-day and seven day tickets, plus day passes. The event usually attracts hundreds of naturists each year and gives guests the opportunity to choose from over 100 varied activities, such as exercise classes and workshops; sports tournaments, health and well-being sessions.

Last year, guests were taken off the site too, with nude visits scheduled to Muchelney Manor, The Cider Brandy Farm, the East Somerset Steam Railway, countryside walks as well as a horse-drawn cart ride ending with a boat trip.
Festivalgoers were also treated to entertainment every evening with quizzes, karaoke, discos and live bands, fire walking, astronomy and a bat walk. Around 500 people attended the festival in 2019, enjoying a range of workshops as well as naturist trips to Muchelney Manor and the East Somerset Railway.
Nudefest organiser Nigel Pinkstone said: "If you have never been to a naturist event consider coming along to Nudefest - it’s the highlight of the year for many of our guests. It’s impossible to describe the fun we have and the euphoric feeling that comes with being part of a like-minded community.
"Naturism is a growing activity in the UK with more and more people discovering how wonderful it is to spend time without their clothes. Come and join them - you won’t regret it."
