There’s a new garden trend on the rise this summer - but is it legal?
Temperatures are expected to soar to 23C this week and sun-worshippers are likely to be trying to top up their tans. It is expected that thousands might even wear their 'birthday suits' and sunbathe naked in their own garden to avoid tan lines.
During the July 2021 heatwave, when the Met Office announced the UK’s first-ever extreme heat warning, there was a 354% surge in ‘naked sunbathing’ related Google searches, garden retailer Primrose has said. It is unlikely that doing so will fall foul of the law, unless the nudity causes distress or alarm to others.
