Hundreds of nudists stripped off for a wild weekend of yoga and body painting at Alton Towers.
Around 450 people from the British Naturism group attended the clothes-free event, which is now in its 15th year, as the theme park was closed.
Organisers described it as wonderful and said it was a “blast” in the buff, reported the Daily Star.
The group, the UK’s largest pro-naked organisation, have enjoyed annual weekends at the Staffordshire resort, only cancelling in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid.
A member of the group reported afterwards: “Around 450 BN members had a blast at our 15th Naturist weekend at Alton Towers.

“For the uninitiated, the theme park itself is closed at this time of year and we take over the entire Splash Landings hotel, which includes a water park in the same building as the rooms and food and drink outlets.
“We strip off at 6pm on Friday and don't need to think about clothes again until home-time on Sunday lunchtime.
“As well as endless hours in the pool, lazy river, master-blaster and other flumes, guests can take advantage of a programme of activities including quizzes, crafts, aquarobics, a morning walk, a tour of the Alton Towers formal gardens, yoga, fitness classes and waterpolo.

“Come the night time it gets wild with live entertainment, body painting, and dancing until the wee small hours.
“There's also plenty of time to catch up with friends over a drink.”
Pictures showed those taking part sliding down one of the slides in the buff, as well as in one of the swimming pools.
Last month a naturist who spends his life naked claimed to have cracked the cost of living crisis as his lifestyle means he never does laundry.

Stuart Gilmour claims to have saved a fortune by ditching his clothes and keeping energy bills down as he is “naturally warm”.
At first, the 43-year-old only stripped off in the comfort of his own home and in the garden but one day decided to go for a bike ride naked, despite being 'petrified' about how people would react and instead found it freeing.
He said: “I'm more comfortable and confident without clothes, believe it or not.
"It's definitely done wonders for my body image. I feel better in myself, have more self-esteem and self-confidence.
"It's saved me a fortune in clothes and energy bills as I've not got the washing or dryer going as much.”
