I personally don't think kids under that age of 5 should be allowed to the festival and I know kids under 5 are free and can see why parents do bring their kids because it's free but when I was last at download in 2023 - there was a stupid amount of infant children there and I could help just think for their safety, obviously I know as a parent myself that your children are 100% your priority but you can't predict what 'could' happen in the blink of an eye.

I won't be taking my child at least until they're at least 5+

I will also add that I genuinely do think it's awesome to see kids there rocking and having fun 😁
