If you’re over a certain age, the thought of you having fun can be a bit tricky – but this ‘club’ in London for over-60s is putting paid to the ‘too old to boogie’ label.
The Posh Club (pictured) even claims to the only club event in the world where someone was rushed to hospital because they forgot to take their drugs!
Club founders Simon Casson and his sister Annie came up with the idea when they saw that their 80-year-old mum was feeling lonely – so they invited some friends round, wound up a phonograph, played 1940s music and served up afternoon tea. The rest is history.
One regular patron, Father Niall Weir, says the venue is an excellent way to encourage “connection, laughter and physical activity” for older people.
Meanwhile, Elvis impersonator Conrad Hamilton says it’s the only venue where he’s had underwear thrown at him on stage – even if it was big granny pants.
