Nudists enjoy annual 'clothes free' weekend at Alton Towers

Hundreds of nudists had Alton Towers to themselves as they enjoyed their annual 'clothes-free' weekend. They took over the theme park's hotel and water park.

Open to all, the event, which is now in its 15th year, involved 450 members joining in. Organisers described said it was a “blast”.

The British Naturism group, the UK’s largest pro-naked organisation, has enjoyed annual weekends at the Staffordshire resort, only cancelling in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. Now the organisation is back, reports the Daily Star.

A spokesman said: “The theme park itself is closed at this time of year and we take over the entire Splash Landings hotel, which includes a water park in the same building as the rooms.”

The naked group took part in a range of activities including yoga, aqua aerobics and even body painting at the retreat, which enables them to live “freely.”

The spokesman added: “We strip off at 6pm on Friday and don’t need to think about clothes again until home time on Sunday lunchtime. As well as endless hours in the pool, lazy river, master-blaster and other flumes, guests can take advantage of a programme of activities.

“Come the night time it gets wild with live entertainment, body painting, and dancing until the wee small hours. There’s also plenty of time to catch up with friends over a drink.”
