Glastonbury is known for having very expensive drinks at its festival, and the reveal of some prices at the 2023 events has a fairly shocked reaction.
Twitter user Marc Faulkner shared a photo from The Bread & Roses bar a couple of days before the event kicked off with drinks prices on the board.
This included pints of San Miguel and Hobgoblin Session IPA being listed for £6.80, with the cheapest options of Burrow Cider, Pyramid Ale and Solstice Bitter still reaching £6.
Meanwhile, most spirits with mixers were costing £7.50 for a 25ml option and £12 for a 50ml option.
That rose to £13 if you wanted to go for a double spirit and Red Bull mixer.

Half pints of non-alcoholic drinks such as Coca-Cola, lemonade, orange juice and apple juice were listed as £3 at the festival bar.
How did Glastonbury punters react to the prices?
A fair few people were not impressed after seeing what the prices were going to be at Glastonbury.
One person shared on Twitter: "No more than London prices. Glastonbury is the corporate monster of the festival circuit. Take your own if you don’t wanna be rinsed."
Discussing the priciest pints on offer one wrote: "Just shy of 7 quid for a San Miguel?!" and another expressed their disbelief by saying: "SIX POUNDS EIGHTY PENCE."
Another person posted: "Half a pint of coke £3" followed by some laughing emojis.
Surprisingly some people didn't find the listed prices to be that bad, comparing it somewhat favourably with what they often cost in London.

One person posted: "You know the country has gone to ruin when a pint at Glastonbury is cheaper than most central London pubs."
Another expressed similar sentiments, saying: "Considering it was £8+ at the cricket at the weekend, I don’t fall out with this."
Despite the seemingly high prices, one person pointed out: "Still decent prices! I found bread and roses to be one of the pricier bars last year??"
