POLO SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Annabel Smith Chestertons-Polo-In-The-Park
At long last the summer is here and with it comes the Polo season, the perfect excuse to pull on jodhpurs, a loud polo shirt, long leather boots and get fit charging around on polo ponies. Whether you play or just like to socialise we recommend some of the best venues in Surrey and beyond. I’m already looking forward to picnics in the boiling sunshine, chatting with friends over a Pimms and peering through the heat and haze at the polo players charging up the field, mallets swinging like knights lances with the clack of the ball as it rockets through the air. May the summer and polo season last forever.
Guards Polo Club is one of the most famous grounds in the world and has been going since 1955 with HRH The Prince Philip as President. It boasts the superb Mosimann's restaurant founded by world- renowned Chef Anton Mosimann OBE in 1988. Mosimann's had the honour of cooking the wedding dinner at Buckingham Palace for TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! Guards events go from late April till September and it is one of the top venues in the British social season. We recommend the Royal Box package, £225 + VAT, which includes a three-course lunch with wine, traditional afternoon tea, designated Royal Box Steward and Exclusive Royal Box Badges.

Cowdray Park in Midhurst is home to the celebrated Gold Cup for the British Open Polo Championship, launched in 1956. With 10 immaculate pitches and an annual fixture list comprising over 30 competitions at all handicap levels, Cowdray Park is another essential fixture in the British social season. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty within Viscount Cowdray’s 16,500 acre estate in West Sussex, the game of polo has been played at Cowdray for close on a century. Look out for The Midhurst Town Cup on the 1st July, which is a lovely family occasion.
