Yes, You Can Get Naked And Drink Beer At A UK Pub

Walking around naked is deemed an act of "indecent exposure" in most public places these days, and those who do so will likely be met with a fine or even a felony conviction. But for every courthouse that condemns the publicly unclothed, there are communities of people who would prefer to spend their waking hours in their birthday suits. Nudism (or "naturism") has been around since ancient Egyptian times, according to the American Association for Nude Recreation, which adds that students in Greece were also nude while studying and excercising during the same period. Henry David Thoreau called his bare nature strolls air baths, and he was apparently in good company with other figures of his time, including Benjamin Franklin and President John Quncy Adams, per AANR.

While naturists still abound around the world, they typically have to get dressed in order to partake in public activities like bar hopping. But across the pond, a U.K. events company bent on "[normalizing] naturism and social nudity whilst breaking down the negative stereotypes of media-inspired body image," per its website, has devised a way for naturists to enjoy a pint of Guinness at the pub, gaze at paintings at museums, and more  — no pants required.
