Getting Started, Events, Etiquette & More

In our very first episode we answer questions submitted by listeners and attendees at NudeFest. Kenny asks how to start with naturism. Carolyn wants to know what other opportunities exist in the UK. We cover etiquette, how to apply sun cream solo, being open with family and colleagues, and that classic worry many men have at their first event.

Topics covered

First steps – beaches, spas and low-pressure ways in
UK events calendar (BN, NKD, NudeFest, Woodlandia, Everybody Festival and more)
Naturist etiquette – towels, looking respectfully, community norms
Practical tips (sun cream applicators, planning for full-body exposure)
Being open with workmates, friends and family
Dealing with unwanted arousal – discretion and context
The power of community and body confidence

About the Podcast

Ask a Naturist is a new podcast from two long-time British Naturism volunteers who are passionate about making social nudity accessible, welcoming and demystified.

We take real questions from people who are curious, new, or already involved – and answer them with honesty, humour and practical experience. No gatekeeping, no judgement, just straightforward conversation about living clothes-free.

Whether you’re wondering where to start, what the etiquette actually is, how to talk about it with family, or what events are worth trying in the UK (and beyond), this is the place.

“Once you start going to events and meeting people, you get invited to things that aren’t as well known… and the community becomes a little family.”

Your Hosts

Jon

Youth Lead for British Naturism. Got into naturism in 2018 after reading about NKD Festival and has been involved ever since – organising events, supporting newcomers and helping build the next generation of the community.

James

Former International Youth Officer for the INF-FNI (2023–2026) and current member of British Naturism and the Irish Naturist Association. Brings a wealth of experience from festivals, international events and youth work across Europe.

Both hosts have been deeply involved in British Naturism for years – from NudeFest and NKD to international swimming galas and youth rallies.

What We Stand For

🌿

Body Acceptance

Bodies are just the vehicles we live in. Naturism helps strip away the constant comparison and builds genuine confidence.

🤝

Community First

The people you meet are the real magic. Non-judgemental, open and often lifelong friendships form around shared experiences.

☀️

Practical & Honest

We talk about the awkward bits as well as the joyful ones – sun cream, etiquette, first-time nerves, and how to actually get started in the UK.

🌍

Accessible Naturism

Beaches, spas, clubs, festivals, walks, skinny dips – there are many entry points. We help you find the one that feels right for you.
