Very mixed agewise, but you really won't care too much. I ended up making friends with a load of 30 year olds after I was one of the youngest person still up at stone circle by sunrise. (I was 17)

as already said massive age range possible out of all the uk festivals. My group ranges for 26 to 49 years old.

once you get there you will not care how old you are or anyone else for that matter, everyone no matter what age is having the time of their lives.

Hi

There will be loads of people your age.

But...wherever you go there will be a fair amount of 'olds.' You could shun them...but will be amongst them. I can almost guarantee, though, you will not have hundreds of surrogate parents nagging you. They will treat you with respect as a human being...and hope the same respect comes back.

The beautiful thing about Glastonbury is that, for most visitors to the Vale of Avalon, age is set aside as an issue. It's pot luck who you'll be camping next to (unless you have a group of 100 strong)

I did think this year there was a 'younger crowd' than 2008. I thought this was a really good thing. Many of my students come across as rather conservative. They make their choice of festival solely on the line-up, rather find a place where they can stretch their horizons.

The only thing that matters is exploring an amazing performance city...discovering new stuff...eating fantastic food and having experiences outside the normal comfort zone.

Since you're already coming, you already know this. If this is your first visit....I envy you.

ah its fine

went there last year when i was 16 and goin again this year

I expect there will be a good mix of ages there, right from the original hippy types to babies who have come with their parents. I will be 19 for Glasto 2010 so I wouldn't be keen on going to a fest that was going to be full of just kiddies and biddies

It was my first year in Glastonbury 2009 and I was 17 at the time. There were plenty of people around our age group and I'll be there again this year!
