Young British Naturists (YBN) is the group for young naturists aged 16-30 in the UK. We have hundreds of members all over the UK and we arrange events both here and in Europe. It is a great way to combine travel and making new friends whilst enjoying the freedom and comfort that naturism brings.

Body conscious?

Being nude with others is both natural and free of embarrassment. First-timers often remark how quickly they feel comfortable wearing nothing and seeing others unclothed - in fact, it's easy to forget that everyone is naked. YBN allows you the opportunity to enjoy freedom from clothes with people of a similar age.

YBN instills the true values of body acceptance and shows us that nakedness is nothing of which to be ashamed and is in the truest sense natural. There is no pressure to join in anything you don't want to, and we are confident you will find your feet in no time.

Membership

Membership to YBN is FREE with BN, so if you're not already a member why not? With regular newsletters, access to a secure on-line community, the option of attending any of our UK-wide events, it's a no brainer!

Questions?

What do you do?

During the summer months we organise visits to naturist clubs around the UK, usually camping at BN-approved naturist sites. During the day we laze in the sun, swim, play sports & visit the bar. In the evenings we quite often visit the local area or town. We also organise an annual two week holiday abroad somewhere hot & sunny!

Isn't it too cold in winter?

Of course it is! During the winter months we attend various naturist swims around the country. We also meet up for pub & nightclub outings, not to mention our annual weekend event at a youth hostel.

How do you keep in touch?

We have a secure internet message board.

The board is used to discuss events, meet people all over the UK & get to know those in your local area. We have calendars to see what events are coming up & when, also for members to advertise their own events. It's a great place to get to know people discussing anything from general chit chat to organising lifts to events.

Who comes?

Anyone & everyone! Our members come from all over the UK. Some members grew up as naturists but quite often YBN was their first naturist experience. Our members come from all backgrounds and walks of life.

I've never tried naturism before!

That's not a problem. We understand that a YBN visit is often a first naturist experience. There is no pressure to undress so it's a great way to try. Many of our members have been apprehensive undressing on their first time, but once they've done it wonder what the big problem was in the first place! Through doing this people have changed the way they think & have more confidence with their body.
