Nudefest 2016

IF you're considering a staycation this summer it could be time to hotfoot it to Somerset, where Britain's biggest ever naturist event has kicked off.

Nudefest began on Tuesday and is a week-long extravaganza celebrating the human form.

OK so you might not be able to squeak in this year, but take a look at these snaps to see what you could have won.

Over 300 naturists are flocking to Thorney Lakes Camping and Caravan Park in Somerset - yep the event is in the same ballpark as Glastonbury Festival.

 The event is held in a tranquil part of the UK

These shots were taken at the nearby Burrow Hill Cider Orchard, where the revellers went to try some of the local tipple.

The camping site has three areas, with special portions for those with mobility requirements and people who want to be near electricity points.

This year British Naturism, the representative body for naturists in the UK, has brought the event to Somerset for the first time ever.

As well as a bar and restaurant, there is even an area where stressed out nudists can nip to for a massage.

Over the weekend nudists can give fishing a go, try their hands at learning the drums, enjoying a 'Robbie Williams experience' and a disco. Those wanting more of a challenge might like to give the open mic a go instead.

 There are quizzes to take part in and a massage expert on site
