Organisers of this year's V Festival have consulted a Feng Shui expert to help campers protect themselves from harmful energies.

Here are V's top tips:

- A green tent and green interior will have a very calming effect. For some romance, pink and salmon tones are best.

- Position sleeping bags as far away form the tent opening as possible and do not sleep with your head facing the tent opening.

- Do not sleep directly on the floor. Best to use an inflatable mattress.

- Avoid having mirrors in the tent if they can reflect your image while you are sleeping.

- Radios, clocks and portable televisions need to be as far away from you while you sleep.
