Thousands of nudists are set to descend upon the British countryside for the UK’s biggest nudist festival this weekend – and some locals are terrified.
Nudefest, which has been dubbed the “Naked Glastonbury”, takes place in Somerset every year.
Roughly 1,000 revellers are expected to flock to the brazen festivities, and locals say they are terrified of bumping into them.

This year's festivities are set to take place at Thorney Lakes Caravan and Camping Park, in nearby Muchelney.
And residents aren’t happy it will be held right on their doorstep, with some even fleeing the area for the duration of the festival.
Michael Stevens, 64, has left the area until the festival finishes on Sunday.
Speaking to The Sun online, he said: "I don’t care if they are all in one place enjoying each other’s company, I don’t want to be in the same town as that lot.
"It comes to something when you have to get out of your own home because you feel uncomfortable.
"But that’s what happened here and it’s symptomatic of what’s going on in this country with the minority seemingly taking precedence over the majority."

Steve White, 34, claimed that everyone living in the village has been left feeling uncomfortable by the controversial event.
The mechanic said: "To have so many nudists coming here is a bit of a risk.
"They stay on the caravan camp where the event is being held, but there are footpaths which cross the area and people will come across the nudists if they are out walking.
"I don’t know why Langport always attracts these kinds of people – we are quite a Conservative, with a small 'C', community and I wouldn’t want such a big group of nudists here."

Public nudity is not illegal in England if there is no sexual context and no intention to cause distress.
British Naturism’s Andrew Welch said: "There are so many benefits to going without clothes.
"Nudefest combines an incredible line-up of daytime activities with night-time entertainment in multiple on-site venues.
"There’s always something to do, and something new, and at the heart of it is our great British Naturism community."
