Download Festival is the UK's biggest rock and metal festival, held each June at Donington Park in Leicestershire, the motor racing circuit that once hosted Monsters of Rock. It sits right next to East Midlands Airport and close to the M1, so fans arrive from all over the UK and from abroad.

Exiting after the final headliner, or on Monday morning, means queues on the roads around the circuit. Agree a pickup point and a flexible time, and keep phones charged.

Campers bring tents, chairs and plenty of supplies, and June weather can be wet. Muddy boots and kit should be bagged for the journey home. Tell us roughly how much kit there is so the vehicle has room.
