A British Naturism spokesperson said: “Interest in naturism in the UK is growing like never before, with many people better understanding the health and well-being benefits of going without clothes.
"Swimming naked is one of the most exhilarating, life-affirming things you can do and always better in the company of like-minded people.”
The Met Office has forecast highs of 26 degrees this Saturday as the event kicks off between 7.30pm and 10pm.
