Day 1: International Day

The first day of the event is called the international day. The Frasers England Polo Team will take to the hallowed turf of Hurlingham Park in a thrilling international match to kick off the tournament on this action-packed day. Friday is an ideal day for entertaining clients or for after-work drinks with a twist, or as it is better known, ‘The Ultimate Office Party.’

Day 2: Ladies’ Day

The ladies’ day is the second day of this action-packed event. It’s a great reason to get dressed up and spend the day watching quality sporting action. You can go shopping until your heart’s content, then unwind with friends in the Champagne Lanson Garden. You might even win the best-dressed contest.

Day 3: The Final day

A fitting conclusion to three days of competitive polo is provided on Sunday afternoon. This is the day when the champions are crowned, and we proudly host a fabulous London day party to cap off the weekend in style.

Meanwhile, for those seeking a slightly different vibe, the morning is set aside for London’s largest kids party (children under 5 are admitted free), complete with a pitch invasion imagined by renowned children’s party entertainers Sharky and George.

The Lowdown On Chestertons Polo In The Park: The Background

Hurlingham Park and polo have a long history together. It was first played there in 1874 and has since become the home of polo in the United Kingdom, hosting the 1908 Olympic Polo Final as well as the prestigious ‘Westchester Cup’ between England and the United States from 1910 to 1939.

Polo in the Park, which has been sponsored by Chestertons for over a decade, may attract visitors who notice the format is a faster and furious type of polo, which speeds up the game and brings spectators closer to the action. This year’s event is extra special because it will host London’s first-ever Ladies International Test Match, with England taking on team USA. It will be the first time a women’s international match has been held in London.

With that said, you should definitely visit the Chestertons Polo in the Park this year.
