heavenly271 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I hit the big 30 this year and there are plenty of people in camp efests who are over 30 aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Burglar Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Don't worry mate me and my mates are all over 30 (only just though!!!). There's always plenty a lot older so it's a good festival for everyone. I seem to recall dancing with a group of ladies ranging from mid forties to over 60 when the Proclaimers were there a few years ago. It's amazing what 'I'm gonna be' can do to you after a few sherberts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliadevitt Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 We are in a big group with ages ranging from 20 to almost 51, so I wouldn't be concerned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandy's Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm 36 and my wife is 43! The last festival I went to was Reading in '94 (the mighty Nirvana played) and my wife has never been to one before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmad1971 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm 38 and my Mrs is 22, she keeps me feeling young. However her taste in music is totally opposite to mine. She is so looking forward to The Saturdays, N-Dubz etc but I will endeavor to get her to see Ocean Colour Scene and Goldie Lookin Chain.

MOLLYJESS Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I am 42 and hubby 43 - this will be our 3rd VFestival - and we can't wait. did the Hop Farm festival last month with our two girls (9 and 4) but this one's for us!! also going with friends in their mid 30's and my nephews girlfriend who is 23 so we have a variety of ages going - i think that's what makes V so good.

Cjm Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I'm 33, 34 in October and it's my 4th V Festival. Least us oldies will be able to actually remember some of the older groups like Human League, The Specials and even James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilisara Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 This is my last v in my 20s, I turn 30 the week after! My 10th v, wow I wasnt even 20 at my first! My boyfriend is 32, our mate is 40 and my brother is 24 so a little range there but we all get on brilliantly! No difference between the eldest and youngest here! Cant bloody wait god, just remembered a 16 yr old girl camped next to us last year... Decided to call me mum for the weekend... That didnt go down well!!!

Beerqueen Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 The first year we went we played a bit of a game, trying to spot someone younger than my son (12) or older than me (44) - it wasn't impossible, but not easy either (although obviously some might have just been better preserved than me!)
