Travel Advice

Download Festival

We recommend customers allow extra journey time when travelling to and from the airport whilst Download Festival is underway from 11 – 15 June.​

The three-day event takes place at Donington Park next to the airport from 13 - 15 June, with campsites opening from midday on Wednesday 11 June. As the UK’s largest rock festival, it is expected to be attended by around 75,000 people.​

Significant traffic is therefore expected during the event, affecting all roads around the airport including the M1, A42, A50 and A453.​

Please check your journey before you travel. You can find useful information on the Traffic England website.​
