'The Ultimate Polo Experience'
With access to a unique venue set in 120 acres of beautiful Surrey countryside, only 45 minutes' drive from central London. We can provide a complete facility for polo, where even non-riding beginners, can learn to play and improve their game. Our venue has four full-sized polo fields and Europe's largest polo arena, where polo is played all year round. We specialise in providing unique and unforgettable 'Learn to Play Polo' Events for corporate groups from 4-200 people. You do not need any previous riding experience to learn to play polo, just a sense of fun and adventure. Please note that in special circumstances the event may be transportable to various other fixed site locations. In these situations, a transportation cost will be incurred.
