Horse racing fans are out in their droves for one of the biggest events of the year.
Over 100,000 people — including King Charles II — are turning out to watch stars like Frankie Dettori in action.
And it’s sure to be a thirsty occasion, with temperatures rising into the high 20s.
However, there will also be a high price to pay for quenching said thirst.
That’s because a single pint of beer costs £7.40 this year.
It marks a significant increase from last year’s cost of £6.
But that’s not the only alcoholic beverage that has shot up at Ascot.
A glass of wine has increased by 50p to £8.

And a bottle of champagne will set punters back a king’s ransom, fetching £72.
But for those lucky enough to see their betting slips come through, it’s just horses for courses.
