Get together
Naturism is better shared. From beach days and swims to bike rides, hikes and working bees, these are the events happening around Aotearoa, run by us and by the clubs and groups we love.
Events are what you make them. Getting the most out of any event is about participation: turn up, say kia ora, lend a hand and join in. You'll be welcomed, and you'll leave with new friends.
Some events are run by clubs and need a membership or subscription. These are marked, and the organiser can tell you how to join. Details can change, so always check with the organiser before you go.
