International Ahoy

Gloucestershire Festival of Polo Schedule Announced

The Gloucestershire Festival of Polo is a weekend-long celebration from 18 – 19 June, with a new programme of games planned. Mark Tomlinson said, “This is a popular event for families. We want people to make a day of it. As well as our great polo line-up, they can see arena attractions, do a spot of shopping, bring a picnic and socialise with friends. They can also enjoy delicious food and drink from the Clubhouse and lawn, and we have a small funfair to keep the children entertained.”

On Saturday the schedule begins with The Maserati Charity Polo Trophy where team Maserati will take on Piaget. This game will be raising valuable funds for three important charities: England & Wales Mountain Rescue, Household Cavalry Foundation and Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust. The afternoon will continue with an International Test Match where Piaget Young England will vie for national honours against Young Ireland.

Sunday features a new attraction – an Exhibition Match will offer a real insight into the challenges of polo as Jockeys take on Olympic Legends – all newcomers to polo. The Final of The Javier Novillo Astrada U15 Cup will also beplayed, this trophy was founded by the Tomlinson family in memory Javier Novillo Astrada of who tragically lost his life to a brain tumour in 2014, and raises money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
