I have been at the event a few times, while I was still in the UK. If it's not for this pandemic, I would be able to travel to the UK for the event this year. A couple of years ago, there was some mild protest as I remember (perhaps for the event in Bedford as well). This time those people really went out of their way to abuse people. I guess it's just the jealousy due to the lockdown ("Why are these people having fun swimming nude, without masks, while we cannot drink in the bar after 10 pm?"). I also agree that in the middle of the pandemic like this, having a naturist event indoor like the Stoke Waterworld is not a great idea.
