Caravan owners could be among the increasing number of older Brits taking their children to music festivals.
According to Virtual Festivals, many of the UK’s first generation of festival goers are now returning with their partners and offspring in tow.
This may be partly to do with sharing an experience that helped shape them as a person, but editor Dan Fahey believes that the family-friendly approach many festivals are taking has played a part.
“The likes of Latitude, Camp Bestival and Wychwood in the UK are certainly attracting a more middle class following because they’re good at accommodating the arts as well as the music and they make it very easy for families to attend as a whole,” he said.
He added that the “music and escapism” are big draws to the UK audience, many of whom will take in a couple of festivals throughout the summer rather than head abroad.
The festival season begins on June 11th with the Isle of Wight Festival.
