18-20 November 2011
NO NEED FOR CLOTHES ALL WEEKEND!
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS THROUGHOUT!
HOTEL AND WATERPARK ALL UNDER ONE ROOF!
SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND CUT THE COST!
Regular visitors to the British Naturism website will know there has been uncertainty about this year's winter extravaganza, with question marks over whether the event would go ahead, and if it did, whether clothes would be required on Sunday morning
We're delighted to confirm that the event will go ahead as usual, with nudity permitted from 6pm Friday to midday Sunday!
Originally, bookings had to be made by September 16, but we're also pleased to confirm that booking will remain open now until the date of the event, or when the hotel is full, whichever comes first!
All the details
Splash Landings Hotel provides superb, up-market accommodation for guests at top UK tourist attraction Alton Towers Resort in Staffordshire. The theme park will be closed for annual maintenance, and Alton Towers have therefore offered the hotel for this one weekend for the sixth time now to members of British Naturism. It’s become one of the biggest and most fun weekends in the naturist calendar!
We will have the entire place to ourselves and nudity will be permitted throughout from 6 p.m. on Friday to midday Sunday. The hotel incorporates the Cariba Creek Waterpark, a restaurant, bar, coffee outlet, shop and games arcade.
As usual, we’ll be putting on activities and entertainment - we can already confirm the return of last year’s favourites, Trident (www.tridentband.webs.com). See past magazines, the website (full reports for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) and the 2010 programme), as well as the BN Members’ Community for reports and more on previous years’ events to get an idea of what goes on. We plan to have a mixture of exercise and dance classes, workshops and presentations, including guest speakers, music and dancing, exhibitions, tours of Alton Towers’ gardens, quizzes, kids activities, and games for everyone. There’s also plenty of opportunity to chill out in the company of like-minded people.
Can I use the Spa at Alton Towers?
Yes. It’s in the other hotel so you need to dress to get there and it’s not a naturist environment. You’ll also get 15% discount on all treatments and products purchased. Last year we trialled a clothes-optional session in the Aqua Relaxation rooms of the Spa and are delighted to announce that two sessions have been offered by Alton Towers this year – one on Saturday and one on Sunday. It is advisable to book in advance, as space is limited. There is a charge of £10 per person. The Spa contact number is 0871 702 7043.
Can I bring my friends?
Yes. However, this is a weekend exclusively for BN members (and members of recognised overseas naturist federations) and so they must join us first. There are always people joining to be able to go and making Alton Towers their first BN event, in fact, sometimes their first naturist event – it’s a great way to start – please spread the word. Don’t forget that you can take advantage of the Recruitment Drive and earn £10 for yourself for every person you introduce.
How much does it cost?
The majority of rooms are “family” rooms designed for two adults and two children. It is possible for four adults to share a room, but rooms are made up of a double bed and bunk-beds - please bear in mind when booking.
The cost is £285 per room for the weekend (two nights) based on two people sharing or single occupancy. Extra adults (12 years of age and over) can stay in a room for an additional £55 each for the weekend, a child (4–11 years) for £45 each for the weekend. Children up to three years old go free. Prices include bed, breakfast, VAT, entry to the Waterpark and all BN activities. All guests must book for the whole weekend: one night stays or day visits are not possible at this event – sorry!
A dedicated phone line for this weekend has been set up, so please phone 0871 222 9934 to make your reservation. Make it clear you are booking for the BN weekend. You will be asked for your BN (or other) membership number before the booking is confirmed.
How can I find someone to share a room with and cut the cost?
Easy. You need to register for the single person sharing service. It’s been a very popular initiative, making the weekend inexpensive and a great way to meet new people! Please call BN head office on 01604-620361 and ask to be added to the list. You will be asked for your credit card details and BN membership number. We will put people on the list together and deal direct with Alton Towers to make the bookings.
