Racegoers arrive for Cheltenham Festival

Revellers at Cheltenham Festival are outraged at having to pay an eye-watering £7 for a pint of Guinness and £14 for Irish coffees. Thousands of visitors have been left in shock after being charged "eye-watering" sums for booze at the four-day festival, including £8.50 for wine in plastic cups and £14 for a double gin and tonic. Pictures of drinks menus have been circulating on social media, showing Guinness, 500ml of Doom Bar bitter, and Aspalls cider costing £7, while bottles of "house champagne" will cost racegoers an incredible £65.
