What are people like?

[lorretta]

So I've just made the rather rash decision to get myself a ticket in the resale and just go it alone and was wondering what the people there are like... Especially as I'm pretty shy :-)

We are normal.... honest

Once you get over the dirty mass nakedness and random face licking by sweaty Cumbrian goatherders you'll be fine, or if the above doesn't appeal then just avoid the hotpots set!

We love a bit of the hotpots oop here! (and face licking )

You'll find people friendly at the festival, I know people who went on their own, made friends and go back every year to see the same crowd again. I suppose it can be a bit daunting but festivals are made for meeting people and having fun.

Ive gone on my own and with friends before and made new friends everytime.

I'll drink and talk to almost anyone, though mainly drink more than i talk

Thanks :-) I've done festivals alone before. Just was a bit worried with this being a more family orientated festival I'd end up spending it all alone

There are more families than the average festival but its not family orientated - if it was i wouldn't go. A good mix of all ages, good mix of crowd. You'll love it! just maybe don't camp too near the arena, or it'll seem like V Festival!!

[IbizaPrincess]

I was wondering on the average ages of folk, reading on here it seems split between the youngsters (which i am not!) and the older regular festival types (more me!) am i right?

 

Thanks for the tip of not camping near the arena, V Festival i do not want!

It could be described quite easily as 2 festivals.  The bored teenagers, and the rest of us  .  If the map doesnt change too much - head left after the entrance and you'll be right.  Its our fifth consecutive Kendal and is one of our three we go to every year!

Ive noticed that over the last year or 2 there has been a mini invasion of teenagers, however there's still a good mix of ages throughout. I'm in my 30's and tend to stay out of the camping by the arena enterance as it's full of kids that cant handle their drink. I've never seen any trouble tho, its generally quite chilled out and easy going. I also know a lot of families that go every year and the kids seem to love it.

I can see why teenagers from the local area go -there isn't a whole lot else going on up there for them music-wise!
