A small can of water is £2.50 - while a bottle of water at the Village Inn will cost punters an eye-watering £7.50. Last year, the average pint was £6.75 - marking a 20p increase this year.

'£2.50 for a can of water is criminal,' with another adding: 'Glad they prioritised people's health with £7.50 bottles of water.' Some complained the prices were not worth the value: 'Some of those prices are insane. 43 quid for a bottle of wine! You can buy a quality vintage for that money.' Another chimed in: 'Drink prices at events these days are ridiculous. They've basically doubled in about 4 years. 'I'm taking multiple cool boxes and frozen water bottles and will buy extra ice on Sunday. Last year only bought 3 drinks and had coldies all festie. No queues either!'

I think they've kept it reasonable,' another said.
