The Summer Event To Book Right Now
Chestertons Polo in the Park is back – and once again SheerLuxe is hosting the Ladies Day on the Saturday. Held at Hurlingham Park – the spiritual home of polo – from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th June this year, the festival marks the beginning of the capital’s summer social season. International Friday kicks off with England vs. Argentina and will be sponsored by Northern Data Group and presented by CITY A.M., while Ladies Day will be presented by SheerLuxe and SLMan. Plus, there’s the exciting Finals and Family Day on Sunday.
the HISTORY
Chestertons Polo in the Park is the biggest three-day polo event in the world. Hurlingham Park has been considered the home of polo since 1875, when the Hurlingham Polo Committee drew up the first formal rules of the game. In the 150 years since the first game of polo was played in the UK, it’s grown into a much-loved sport, which typically draws an international crowd of both beginners and seasoned fans.
Polo is now played in 77 countries, from the US, Central and South America and the Caribbean, to Europe, the Middle East, India, South-East Asia, China, Australia and New Zealand. The round-robin style tournament is played under the HPA-endorsed City Polo rules, developed to maximise spectator enjoyment – effectively the ‘Twenty20’ of polo – making it easy for newcomers and families to get in on the action.
the LADIES DAY PRESENTED BY SHEERLUXE
The SheerLuxe-sponsored event will host six city teams competing across the weekend. Guests will enjoy live music, DJs, a luxury shopping village and lovely gardens and bars created by the likes of CALA, plus the chance to be photographed by the SheerLuxe social team. We’ll see you there…
the WEEKEND
The three-day event features premier polo teams from around the world, as well as VIP hospitality. Sunday’s Family Day is great for children – in fact, the event bills itself as hosting London’s ‘biggest kids’ party’. Elsewhere, the Fulham Food Festival is a big draw and will feature some of London’s most popular restaurants and artisans – with options ranging from vegan hotspots to gourmet street food. Our picks? The dishes at Bluebird, Made of Dough and Calamari Canteen.
