CARBON OFFSETTING

Trying to get to the festival in an environmentally friendly way, but still want to do more?  Donate a few pence to negate the carbon emitted by travelling to the festival and we’ll invest it all into environmental projects at local schools.

Climate change is a pressing global issue. Nevertheless, there are things that we can all do.

We are committed to encouraging and providing more sustainable transport options to Download Festival where possible, and would also like to offer customers the opportunity to negate their unavoidable carbon emissions associated with travelling to this event by investing in environmental projects in schools around Donington Park.

If you would like to participate in this scheme, there is an option to add 50p to your order on the shipping page and we’ll use all the money to fund environmental projects in local schools. Last year we built a garden area at Castle Donington Community College and provided them with environmental teaching resources.
