esure also suggests that debit and credit card holders should only take out small amounts of money at a time so that they are not carrying around huge wads of cash which could get stolen or lost.

There are, after all, ATMs on festival sites, the company noted.

The news comes as 175,000 music fans get ready to head to Glastonbury to kick off the summer festival season.

esure also advised music fans to make sure that their home contents insurance covers them for any items lost at a festival.

Mike Pickard, head of risk and underwriting at esure home insurance, said: "Festivals such as Glastonbury are havens for opportunistic thieves and pick-pockets and the very nature of these types of music events radically increases the likelihood of belongings being accidentally dropped, misplaced or damaged."

Five Natwest ATMs will be available 24 hours a day at Glastonbury festival from Thursday at 10:00 to Monday at noon. They will accept all major debit and credit cards.
