Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Please note that for first visits to the club, this is restricted to the FIRST and SECOND Sundays of the month. This is to ensure that a committee member is available to meet and greet you at the club.
We are open to club members 24/7. If you are a visitor to the club, then visiting is by prior arrangement and at the weekends only this is so that we can guarantee that someone will be available to meet and greet you. Visiting at weekends ensures that you meet more of the members. Opening times are from 10:30am (this is when the sun is fully on the club lawn). Please complete the form here to arrange a visit.
For first visits, these must take place on either the FIRST or SECOND Sunday of the month.
Please note that during the winter time the club is CLOSED. Our season runs from late April through to end of September.
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.
For the purposes of who is classified as an adult, it is anyone over the age of 18. Anyone under the age of 18 is classified as a child, and as such should be accompanied by an appropriate adult. If that adult is not the parent of the individual wanting to visit then written permission must be obtained before a visit can take place.
We do not discriminate against either sex at Haslemere Sun Club. You are welcome to visit the club, however after 3 visits membership is either offered or declined. We do try to keep an even keel on the number of males and females at the club, so as not to make either sex feel out numbered or uncomfortable. We are a family orientated naturist club, and if you join as a couple you are more likely to be offered membership after 3 visits, whereas there may be a waiting list for single members.
We do not sell food or drink on the premises. You are encouraged to bring your own food and drink for consumption at the club. We do have a couple of fridges for you to store your food and microwaves and ovens should you need to heat your food up.
The only time food is provided is when we hold a social at the club and a fee is normally charged for this.
