Kids at Music Festivals

depends if the festival is set up for it. WOMAD for example is and is great for kids

Re: Kids at Music Festivals

theres was some proper horrors standing round having a gurn to some techno at the Green Festival last year with their 1-year-old in a buggy in front of them

Re: Re: Kids at Music Festivals

That's hardly a festival!

I'd never take a kid to the kind of festival alot of you are thinking of, like global gathering or something. But I'd take one to Glastonbury, V or T in the park etc.

Nah too many drugs flying around and to many dodgepots at festivals, I'm sure plenty off us have found stray pills, bags of powder on the ground at festivals

didnt certain members of this board frequent certain nightclubs pre-16

there wasnt one of those gold dummies on the end was there

I was 16 when I used to go to Crasher... happy days

if there's a group of you with kids and you have it arranged so one person's on sober babysitting duty all the time, or you're prepared to be pretty much sober the whole time to look after your kid and there's more of a family camping bit then it's all good IMO.

I know lots of kids who've grown up on the festival circuit who've turned out to be really clued up kids.

way too much nanny state bollocks these days IMO - the kids who'll die young and unhappy are the fat kids who's parents never let them out the house and fed them on junk food all day everyday.

I think theyre the kind of stories you keep to yourself mate :spangled:

It depends where and what sort of festival it is.

I know its not a festival but at the Love Parade you get all sorts going off, with young familys raving away and getting amongst it and theres nothing at all wrong about it. Everyone is just loving it and that the way it should be.

I remember years ago after one ofthe summer arcanes a load of us had piled out to the beach for a laugh. All was cool as fuck til the families started decending around lunchtime, jsut as we were all on fullon comedown mode... we knew it was time to leave when the kids started using our bodies as hurdles and having races across us

Watch Woodstock, full of kids.

In Zimbabwe I went to local beer gardens/shabeens all the time with my parents, which are like mini festivals. Music all day, etc. There we're kids at the beach party I went to in Goa, plus in Paradiso, the outdoor nightclub. They we're of hippy/backpacker stock though, thus probably used to the atmosphere. I had one young lad of six play Uno with me (his Mum's idea), and ask if I was straight headed. Was very intelliegent for his age.

predictable :groovy:

Next festival you should where a tshirt saying, keep kids away or they'll turn out like me.

chewy, did you get my pm re: your mate?
