In order to provide the best possible experience, we ask that everyone who wishes to use the Access facilities at Download complete and submit an Access Requirements Form prior to arriving on-site.

Returning 2020 Customers: If you applied for access at Download 2020, and your application was accepted, your details will automatically be rolled over for Download 2021 (if you still wish to attend). We will contact you via email with further information early next year (2021).

Access Requirements Form

Our 2021 Access Requirement Form is: currently unavailable.

Check back here nearer the event, or sign up to the Access Mailing List to receive a notification when our our form goes live. Notifications are usually sent out in the January prior to the event.

All submitted documentation is kept strictly confidential and securely destroyed after processing.
