Naturism Festival: Naked people of all shapes and sizes enjoyed a cider farm visit

More than 300 nudists have enjoyed a barn dance, teddy bears' picnic and an Elvis impersonator as part of a week-long naturism festival.
British Naturism, the representative body for naturists in the UK, brought Nudefest to Somerset for the first time. Yesterday naked people of all shapes and sizes stripped off on arrival at Burrow Hill Cider farm in Somerset.
Staff even joined in with the nudity, but spared their modesty with strategically-placed stripy aprons.
Today the bare-skinned revellers will visit a nature garden, enjoy a war-time singalong, and tonight Bavarian-style entertainment with 'oompah' musician Baron Von Schmidt Haus.

Carol and Steven Wilkes were there with friends Keith and Annette Evans and have been 'doing' Nudefest for years.
Carol, 57, from Walsall, said: "We've been really lucky with the weather. It's usually really windy when you're camping."

Steve, 61, added: "There are heaters at the site. We put clothes on when it gets cold - we're naturists, not stupid."
Annette, 69, from Hampshire, said it's the atmosphere and chance to live naked freely that keeps them coming back. She said: "We come back, yes, because of the friends, but it's also the only chance we get to live fully without clothes - no taking them off and putting them back on again. It's liberating.

"The Elvis impersonator last night was amazing. His clothes were made by the original Elvis tailor, and we had a teddy bear's picnic today.
"We also had our first naked tandem cycle ride around the lake."
Annette is used to people misunderstanding their lifestyle but wanted to assure the public they were just normal people.
She said: "We're not here for people to make fun of us. We're not an amusement. We just like to live without clothes as we feel it's more natural."
Thorney Lakes Camping and Caravan site near Langport is playing host to around 300 nudists until July 11th.

A variety of activities have been planned or those wanting to take part and events will be planned throughout the week both on and off-site.
