To miss going clubbing

I miss going clubbing. The big build up, the buying new clothes to go out in, getting ready. Meeting people spontaneously, thumping beats, good tunes. It was a fun workout. It's like Elle Woods says in Legally Blonde, "Excercise give you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy". Is it just me or has the demise of clubs made us more miserable? I see there's afternoon clubs for the over 30s. I think we need to be dancing more and maybe we'd be happier!

There's not any clubs left open nearby unfortunately, so would need to travel and then difficulty of getting home without paying a small fortune for a taxi.

Live music is your friend. You may not reach the heady heights of your late teens/early 20s, but a decent band and a local venue and a couple of pints of cider and you’ll be jigging around in no time. And all ages are there, jumping around on the dance floor.

I'm pretty sure it is @OldTinHat , but we're the next generation of old folks and we want our tunes 😀

There's a daytime clubbing tour called Dayfever for the over 30's. It was started by Vicky McClure. I've not been yet but I have tickets, can't wait for a good sweaty dance!

So very true! I used to go clubbing four nights a week, danced my shoes off, had an absolute blast!

I've also seen a local nightclub offering afternoon 'raves' for those of us in our dotage!! 😆🤣 I'm wondering if these are the equivalent of afternoon tea dances for us of a certain age (but without the lyrca, whistles and much arm waving)!

Fit yi deein’ inight? Jist ging oot - fits stopping yi?

What's stopping you?

Google Day Fever.

I've been to 3. They are the best fun.

I'm 38 and still dance the nights away.

We deliberately slowed things down when we knew we were planning to have kids... I do perhaps miss the getting ready more than the thing itself, but now the kids are old enough to be left alone, DH and I have been clubbing again a few times in the last year which has been fun but exhausting.

I agree, it was a lot of fun!

What are these afternoon clubs for the 30's and where are they! I miss clubbing too, nowadays I hear friends/ppl my age say how much they prefer sit down meals etc, but honestly, I love going out drinking and dancing and just switching off. You are not alone!

minthybobs · 18/05/2024 22:18

Why not go clubbing then?! Nothing stopping you.

If you feel awkward at everyone being younger then why not book to see some live music nights, festivals or bands instead. Nightclubs aren’t the only route to having a fun night out with music

This is me! I miss those days, I miss my energy and I miss my body soooo much. I miss happy people I watch the old totp and think wtf

fashionqueen0123 · 18/05/2024 22:17

I miss it too. I used to love being in a club all jumping and singing along to something. And when I was a teen going out with my friends and meeting blokes there and just having such fun.
And yes the shopping for the clothes!
It would definitely need to be in the afternoon now.

You need to book a flight to Ibiza! Xx
