A team of drug and alcohol advisers will be on hand to offer support and advice to revellers at next week's Download music festival.

Volunteers for Swanswell, a charity providing alcohol and drug and support services, will be offering information and advice on how to party safely to people arriving at the Castle Donington festival site from Wednesday.

Jo Woods, Swanswell's regional development manager in Leicestershire and Rutland, said: "The Download Festival is the perfect opportunity to offer advice and support around alcohol and drug use.

"Our team will be available on site to answer questions or to have a friendly chat from the moment the campsite gates open, through to the last day of the festival."

Festival-goers will be able to find the team, including substance misuse workers, support workers and recovery workers, next to the welfare tent in the main camp site, where they will be able to find information and confidential advice.

The Swanswell team members will also be walking around the campsite handing out information.

They will be joined by members of North West Leicestershire District Council's Community Safety Team at the main campsite from 10am to 8pm daily, from Wednesday to Sunday, June 16.

For help and support with alcohol and drug issues call 0300 303 5000.
