Going out

Going out is great, but not if you constantly feel you have to restrict yourself to things which are ‘suitable for your age’. Quite rightly, rock concerts and music festivals are heavily populated by the over 50s (on stage and in the audience), and myriad other events – including art exhibitions, fashion shows, sports events and charity promotions - are all the same. So if you’re under the misapprehension that these events are just for ‘yoof’, forget it – go and enjoy!

The downside of going out is that it can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. There seem to be a plethora of websites focused on separating the ‘wealthy’ over 50s from their money, but whether or not you’re fortunate enough to have plenty of money to spare, we don’t think that’s the point. Our focus is much more on some of the less obvious (and expensive) but highly enjoyable things to do that might open up new avenues of enjoyment and be just up your street now you’re in your prime.
