A: Naturism, also known as nudism, is a lifestyle that advocates for social nudity and promotes a philosophy of body acceptance, respect for oneself, and respect for the environment. At Haslemere Sun Club, naturism is practiced in a safe, welcoming, and respectful community setting. Members and visitors are encouraged to embrace their natural state in a variety of activities such as sunbathing, swimming, picnicking, and social events. The club provides a serene and secure environment where individuals can experience the benefits of naturism, including a greater sense of freedom, improved self-esteem, and a closer connection to nature. With a strong focus on community and mutual respect, Haslemere Sun Club is an ideal place for those new to naturism as well as seasoned naturists to enjoy the practice in a supportive and beautiful natural setting.

Naturist clubs are pretty much the same as textile, or clothed clubs. The only difference is that weather permitting you will find people naked enjoying the weather

No you do not. If the weather is inclement then you would not expect to be naked. The only time you have to be naked is when using the pool, as no bathing costumes are allowed. If it is your first time visiting a naturist club, then this would be taken into account, however you will probably find that you would be more relaxed being naked when everyone else around you is doing the same. If you are a female and it is that time of the month, then again bikini bottoms are acceptable.

We understand that if you have never been to a naturist club or are new to naturism the thought of being bare for the first time can be daunting. We have all been there so just enjoy your visit. If you’re comfortable with it please enjoy the sun and go bare, but there is no pressure.
