A few months ago, in a
review of London’s first naked restaurant, I suggested someone quickly arrange a new naked thing in the city for sure-fire profit.
Sadly, I didn’t listen to my own
advice, but
Get Naked did, a new club night entirely themed around nudity.
It was initially supposed to launch at a small Soho bar and be a ‘small and intimate’ affair, but when a tide of people signed up, organiser Joshua
Walker was forced to find a new venue.
He has now found one in none other than Club Aquarium, a cornerstone of Shoreditch nightlife known for containing a swimming pool and hot tub that only opens around 2am once everyone’s good and drunk.
Perhaps fearing a mass orgy, the event, re-christened ‘Get Wet, Get Naked’, has been changed from a nighttime thing to an all-dayer, running from midday til 5pm on 12 November.
There will also quite randomly be a buffet.
Swim
shorts and swimsuits will be allowed, but obviously birthday suits are encouraged.
Walker said that the event will be aiming for a “nudist environment, not a trashy one”, and guests will be able to get made-up with body paint if they so wish, though I don’t know how this will function with the whole being-in-a-pool thing.
Get Naked takes place on 12 November at The Aquarium, Old Street. Tickets go on sale on Monday 24 October for £15
