How can I ensure my trip to the UK will not have to be cancelled because of Brexit?
I've got a trip planned to the UK in June. Due to brexit, I'm worried what changes may be introduced before my arrival.
I'm traveling on a EU / Polish passport. I'm going for a couple weeks of holiday.
Is there anything I can do right now to make it less likely any changes won't stop me at the immigration? For example, applying for some tourist visa which does not rely on the EU status?

Nobody knows at this point. Buy travel insurance.

I don't believe any travel insurance I got so far covers denied immigration entry. Have you got some examples that do?

No, but travel insurance typically covers cancellation of a trip before you have started (if you find out that the visa requirements change in the next few weeks).

While there is a huge level of uncertainty about what will happen after Brexit, or even if Brexit will actually occur, guidance for people visiting the UK after Brexit (thanks @MichaelHampton) would indicate that visa free entry for citizens of an EU country (and Switzerland) is built into British law, and not dependent on EU membership. In other words an exit from the EU, whatever the circumstances, does not automatically revoke the visa free rules. They would have to be specifically repealed by Parliament.
This means that you will still be allowed to enter the UK after Brexit unless the British Parliament passes rules to say you cannot. If that were to happen you would hear about it. The likelihood of it happening within the next few months is very small, and the likelihood of it taking effect in the next few months even smaller.
Most travel insurances have specific exclusions against covering 'government action'. The only thing you could reasonably do to protect yourself against the (very small) chance that Britain votes to prevent foreigners visiting is to buy an insurance that allows you to cancel "for any reason".

This answer should be edited to clarify that even if free movement ends, this does not preclude an EU national from visiting the UK. Just like all the other countries in the world which are not in the EU: their citizens may enter the UK as tourists or on business. The only difference is that they don't have the automatic right to live & work in the UK with no questions asked. They're still allowed to come here. So whichever way the politics goes, even in the very worst case scenario, they'll still be able to come on the same terms as anyone else.

According to this piece, written by a staffer at the House of Commons Library, the Immigration Bill currently passing through the House of Commons will repeal the existing EU legislation on a date to be decided by regulation (i.e. when the Home Secretary decides to do so).
It also says that the new immigration arrangements will be decided and implemented by regulation under the Immigration Act 1971 - i.e. according to the whim of the Home Secretary.
Whilst government white papers do talk about implementation and transition periods from 29th March until 2020 or January 2021, there is very little detail on how the new immigration rules will work as related to EU visitors, except for a short section that suggests that EU nationals will be treated as non-visa nationals (like US nationals at present) and will not need a visa to visit the UK.
In short, the new regulations will be announced by the Home Secretary in due course, and EU citizens should expect to be able to visit the UK visa-free.
There are caveats, however.
- It's not at all clear what will happen in the period from 29th March
to the end of any implementation period. - Since immigration policy is
implemented by regulation it can change at the whim of the government
at any time. - Spain is making trouble over Gibraltar that could result
in UK citizens needing a visa to visit the EU. In this case it's
likely that EU visitors to Britain will also need visas.

While this is useful information, the staffer who wrote this was probably assuming that there would be an orderly and well thought out process for completing Brexit, and sufficient time to pass the relevant legislation once the deal was finalized.

While visa regulations can change quickly, particularly as an emergency measure, it is unlikely that a new visa requirement for Polish nationals will be introduced without a long notice period. Meanwhile, the UK government has repeatedly stated that nationals of EU countries will not require visas to visit the UK, unless their own government were to suddenly introduce the same for UK nationals visiting their country.

While visa regulations can change quickly, particularly as an emergency measure, it is unlikely that a new visa requirement for Polish nationals will be introduced without a long notice period. Meanwhile, the UK government has repeatedly stated that nationals of EU countries will not require visas to visit the UK, unless their own government were to suddenly introduce the same for UK nationals visiting their country.

Nobody knows at this point. Buy travel insurance.

I don't believe any travel insurance I got so far covers denied immigration entry. Have you got some examples that do?

No, but travel insurance typically covers cancellation of a trip before you have started (if you find out that the visa requirements change in the next few weeks).
