The drink prices for 2024 range from £2.75 for a soft drink to £7.50 for a pint. However, there are multiple bars across the Aintree racecourse so drinks prices may vary depending on where you grab a refreshment, and your beverage of choice.

Compared to last year, some prices have gone up with a spirit now 75p more than in 2023. However, some prices have stabilised and come in at the same price in the case of a pint of Guinness and Madri.

Meanwhile, the price for a bottle of fizz has stayed around the same, with the price of a bottle of Via Vai Prosecco Brut (750ml) still £46. Currently, the cheapest bottle of Champagne is available for £85, which is up on last year, though other bars may provide cheaper alternatives.
