Chestertons Polo in the Park - Day 1

Chestertons Polo in the Park is one of the best summer parties in London with its three-day International Polo Festival. A firm fixture in London’s social calendar, Chestertons Polo in the Park brings world-class polo to the Capital.  The unique, fast-paced format makes one of the oldest equestrian sports easier for both newcomers to follow and dedicated polo fans to enjoy the excitement.

Spectators watch one of the world’s oldest known team sports as two opposing teams strive to score points by using long-handled wooden mallets to hit a small hard ball through the opposing team’s goal. Typically, each team comprises four mounted riders, and the game lasts for one to two hours, divided into periods known as chukkas or “chukkers.” Polo has achieved global popularity, boasting well over 100 member countries in the Federation of International Polo. The sport is played professionally in 16 countries and enjoyed a stint as an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1936.

Beyond the sport at Chestertons Polo in the Park, this ultimate summer social amalgamates fashion, food, fun, and family. Attendees can explore the latest trends, participate in style competitions, indulge in delicious street eats, unwind in pitch-side bars, or revel in lively music and DJs.

It is safe to say that Chestertons Polo in the Park is now firmly established as one of the must attend London events. Enquire now to experience with Engage.
