The Download Festival has significantly enhanced the food and beverage offerings this year. A notable addition to the 2024 festival is The Welders Yard, a fresh food and drink area located at the top of the main arena, along with two new bars – the Gooseneck Inn biker bar and the Ace of Spades.
The Gooseneck Inn is poised to provide a range of premium whiskies, rums, liqueurs, and other spirits. Festival organisers have also divulged that attendees will have the opportunity to partake in eating contests and view the Euros at the Ace of Spades bar, conveniently situated near the new Outpost Stage in District X.
Scheduled to take place from Friday, June 14 to Sunday, June 16 in Castle Donington, the rock festival will showcase over 140 food vendors this year. Download Festival has confirmed that this will include more than 30 different traders with gluten-free options, over 80 vegetarian options, and 40 vendors offering vegan fare.
In addition to these thrilling additions, the festival has retained beloved options. Attendees can anticipate Bunnymans Bunnychow, which will be serving either steak or vegan chilli in a bread bowl, as well as King of the Yorkie, Big Mouth Gyoza, and No Fricken Chicken.

Moreover, organisers have disclosed that they have overhauled travel and site plans following the traffic disruptions experienced in the 2023 edition of the festival. Through these changes, the organisers aim to create a more seamless experience for all participants.
