Glastonbury drink prices leave people shocked as they increase again

The festival gets underway this week

The gates to Worthy Farm opened today (June 25) for the biggest festival in the world.

This year, festival-goers can look forward to a headlining trio of The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young, along with hundreds of other acts across the week.

And whilst there's enough variety at the festival to suit any taste, it doesn't like there will be as much choice for punters when it comes to bar prices.

A member of staff at the festival shared a picture of the drinks menu and prices at the Village Inn bar, and they make for some eye-watering reading.

A pint of beer or cider will set you back £6.75 on average, with the Stonewall Inn IPA being the most expensive at £7.20, whilst the Burrow Hill cider is the cheapest at £6.50 a pint.

Cans will cost between £6.50 and £8, depending on the drink, whilst a bottle of wine will cost a staggering £32.

Meanwhile, spirits range from £7.95 to £12.90, and cocktails are £7.90.

It's not much better when it comes to soft drinks either, with a half pint costing £3.00, cans of energy drink costing £5 and a 330ml can of water costing £2.50.

In general, these prices are up ever so slightly from last year, when a pint of standard pilsner cost 25p less and a bottle of wine was £2 cheaper.

Users have reacted to this years prices, and the reviews have been mixed...

One said: "Much better than other festivals and gigs this year!!"

"Beer prices are alright pay more than that a pint at the rugby stadium," commented another.

On the other side of the coin, one person said: "Absolutely disgusting."

"Are most really .95? Intentionally misleading?! Poor effort," wrote another.
