Cartier International Polo - Sunday 27th July 2008

Join us as we enjoy a day out watching the premium event in the polo calendar! The Cartier Polo day is one of the most prestigious and exclusive of the social and sporting scene and is regularly attended by royalty and celebrities from all around the world.

The Itinerary

We make our way from London Hammersmith at 9:30am to the beautiful Windsor Great Park. We start by opening bottles of chilled bubbly and enjoy a first drink of the morning.

You then have time to enjoy the spectacle, or maybe wander on and around the field taking in the party atmosphere and picnic scene (and of course the glamourous shops and stalls!) before the polo begins. Keep an eye out for famous people as you make your way to the polo pitch for the morning match. For the last few years this match has frequently featured Prince Harry playing for his father’s side - The Prince of Wales team.

At lunchtime make your way back to our base where we will have a full picnic lunch waiting. Your meal will be freshly prepared using quality ingredients and will feature varied luxury deli-rolls and a choice of mixed salads, plus strawberries and cream. This is accompanied by plenty of red or white wine and soft drinks which you can enjoy before making your way to the field for the afternoon chukkers.

The polo continues after lunch with the main international match – ENGLAND vs AUSTRALIA. This is polo playing at its highest level and you will be close to the action, including an opportunity to walk onto the pitch during breaks and half time intervals to help with the tradition of “treading the divots”.

After the game you will return to your coach for a quick afternoon tea of scones, cream and jam and soft drinks before departing for London with an estimated arrival time back in Hammersmith of about 7.30pm.

We don't offer Grandstand seats as part of our package. If you would like a reserved grandstand seat however, you can contact the polo club directly on www.guardspoloclub.com and purchase one, subject to availability, at a cost of approximately £30-£40.
