Free chlamydia kits will be handed out at this year's Glastonbury festival.

Music fans at the event aged between 15 and 24 will be asked to visit a screening centre on the site, NHS Somerset has revealed.

DIY urine kits will be available at the information point, while the packs will include a glow-in-the-dark sperm key ring and condom, according to PA.

Organiser Michael Eavis is backing the campaign, which is aiming to reduce the spread of the sexual infection.

"The chlamydia screening service wants to reach as many young people from Somerset as possible to inform them of the risks to health from chlamydia and offer a DIY test results to those who may have exposed themselves to the risk of infection," said NHS worker Sara Dove.
