Our members range from newborn babies to hardy souls in their nineties, and are a friendly, welcoming bunch. Because we are not a club in the usual sense, you are not required to do maintenance. All you have to do is enjoy yourself! If you’re looking for a peaceful, family-orientated place to enjoy naturism, Spielplatz is the place for you.
To join, you must start with a Day Visit. This trial visit allows you and us to decide if Spielplatz is the right place for you. Successful applicants will be notified as soon as possible after their initial visit.
(Please note: Although Full Membership offers you year-round access to our grounds, Day Visits are only possible during our summer season, which runs from Good Friday through 30th September each year.)

DAY VISITS:
We encourage bona-fide naturists to visit Spielplatz for a peaceful, relaxing day out. To book your trial visit, simply phone ahead and let us know when you would like to come. On the day, bring along a photo I.D. (passport, new-style driving licence, etc), your own towel to sit on. The day visit fee is £10 per person. Members of ABNC clubs with proof of membership receive a £2.50 discount. We will require you to fill in a short form with your name, address, and other pertinent details, take your picture, answer any questions you may have, and then you’ll be free to explore and enjoy our facilities. If you would like someone to show you around your first time, please let us know when you phone.
We are family-orientated, so if you have any flashy or excessive piercings, especially in the genital areas, please remove them before you visit. We also do not allow any photography, so cameras of any kind, including phone cameras, should be left at home or locked safely in your car.
Once you experience Spielplatz’s unique atmosphere, we’re sure you’ll want to become a full member. When your application is accepted and you join within a month of your initial visit, we will deduct your day-visit fee from your annual membership subscription for the first year.
