What truly sets Chestertons Polo in the Park apart from traditional equestrian events is its unique, fast-paced “City Polo” format. Played with modified rules designed to maximize spectator enjoyment, it brings the fast and furious action closer to the crowds, offering Londoners a rare opportunity to watch elite international polo without leaving the city.

This year’s tournament welcomes eight formidable teams from major global hubs—including London, Cape Town, Zurich, Texas, and Riyadh.

In a major pop-culture crossover, Friday’s International Day will feature the highly anticipated debut of Disney+ Team Rivals. Tying into the massive buzz surrounding the hit drama series Rivals, the team’s introduction brings the glamorous, high-stakes world of the show to life on the pitch, adding a thrilling cultural dimension to Friday’s opening matches.

While Friday focuses on corporate hospitality and after-work socials, and Saturday highlights fashion at Ladies Day, Sunday is firmly positioned as London’s go-to family day out.

The Finals Day transforms Hurlingham Park into the ultimate playground for all generations, combining the tournament’s gripping concluding matches with a massive array of pitch-side kids’ activities, games, live entertainment, and the Fulham Food Festival.

England’s women captain Hazel Jackson, who is in line to represent the England mixed team against South Africa on Friday, comments:

“I’m really excited, it’s always a privilege to represent England, and even more so to represent the England mixed team. The South Africa team looks really tough – I think it will be a very physical game! – but I cannot wait to come back to Polo In The Park. The event is amazing and I think you can’t beat that atmosphere on the side of a polo field.”

Tickets and premium hospitality packages for the three-day festival are available now. For full match schedules, team line-ups, and ticket bookings, visit the official website at www.polointheparklondon.com.
