Are you ever too old to go to festivals?

I reckon camping with Cub Scouts is more fun. Quieter anyhow and Cubs can break most noise barriers just conversing with each other.

Nothing to do with age, I just like my comforts too much. The toilets,mud and smells are just three things I don't want to experience thanks. sunshine

Only if I get to stand very near the loo, which must be clean !

Ive got wellies but I don't want to be slipping around in the mud, oh and rain, if its raining I would want a very big brolly, and I would want to be able to sleep in a hotel at night, no tents for me with all the creepy crawlies about waiting to bite me !
Apart from that then its a yes from me ! grin wink

I've been to Womad -world music festival- twice in my fifties.Would love to go this year but too expensive and got too fussy about camping!

I have been too old to go to pop festivals since I was 40, never mind 50! grin

Hmmmm probably not - well, not without wellies and ear plugs anyway.

Oh, and the problem of loos - we need more of them more often don't we?

So - definitely NOT!!!!

"No", says Nicola Venning in our latest blog post.

Have you done Glastonbury at 50+? Is it something you fancy? Or will you be leaving it to the GC?!
