Does anyone else still love nightclubbing on holiday in their 50’s?

I would NEVER go night clubbing at home. It’s probably been 15 years since I was in a club in the UK. However, when I am on holiday, I absolutely love it! I know it isn’t the same. When we go on holiday to all inclusive hotels that have a nightclub I literally dance there until they close. We have just booked a trip to Goa in India And the place that we have booked is really busy with loads of nightclubs and I will definitely be going. But I would never do this at home. I am 55. Is anyone else the same?

This makes me think of Neil in the Inbetweeners movie.

I don't understand your AIBU; sounds fantastic! I haven't been clubbing in the UK since pre-Covid, but DP and I went to Belgrade in June and absolutely loved clubbing there. Enjoy your trip to Goa!

You don't stop dancing and loving music just because your 50

Age UK do daytime discos now that tells you something.

To an actual nightclub, no. But I went to a sober silent disco recently (also women only) and it was fab. Being able to dance, with only women and no one drunk or high and spilling their drink on you was wonderful.

Sounds like hell on earth to me.

I'm 53 and going to Greece next month with my friend....hell yeah we're going to set those dancefloors alight 💃🍹

Hi!! I am not the same as you.

I DO go clubbing at home, and I am almost 51!!!! I've always been a music lover and age hasn't stopped that. I can no longer jump up and down for three hours, but I can definitely dance all night. I pace myself and go home when ready, and I've had to as I age, but I still blast music at home, in the car, on Friday nights, and I regularly go to music events of all kinds so I encourage you to go at home in your normal life too. Music venues are full of 'our type of people', other music lovers who are aging just like me. It's not teenagers etc.

Have a brilliant holiday.

I’m 48 and haven’t been to a nightclub in years, and can’t imagine anything worse

I wish I had the stamina to do this but I’m in my 30s and in bed by 10pm 😂

Love that you’re letting your hair down and doing something you love on holiday though - never stop!

YANBU. I can imagine spending a summer night clubbing in a gorgeous location abroad would be fabulous and totally different to being in a nightclub in grotty Britain. Have a brilliant time!

Well that sounds fabulous. I'm pondering Ibiza for my 50th. In the UK I like going to day time outdoor music events that finish at 11pm now 👌 😂
