Would love to go to a Music festival - any suggestions?

Hi. I'm 62 and I've never been to a music festival. I'd like to rectify that this year. Can anyone recommend one that's geared for the more mature person? Ideally,one that includes folk music and a campsite that has clean toilets.

I don't know whether you found a festival that you liked the sound of. If not, I would suggest Fairport's Cropredy Convention. Fairport Convention are a folk rock band and have a variety of groups playing over the three day festival which, next year is 11th - 13th August. There are campsites available to book which are walking distance to the festival. The festival is a very friendly affair and is held in the village of Cropredy just outside of Banbury, Oxfordshire.

I would recommend the Acoustic Festival in the midlands Been a few times. You can camp, take a van or caravan or even stay nearby. Worth a try.

No Maureen I don't know of one for mature people, however I will try to find out. I love all types of music including folk, country western, classical, pops.

Just joined and trying to navigate my way around.

I am seeking a holiday companion for 2017

Take care.

Kind Regards

Hi Maureen there is a folk festival in Sidmouth very appropriate for a first festival and camping on site. You'll love it nothing like live music and the he atmosphere of a festival. Good luck
