This year’s tournament opens on Tuesday 23rd June. Quarter Finals will be played on the weekend of 11/12th July, Semi Finals on Thursday 16th July, and the Final on Sunday 19th July.
Semi Finals day, with two outstanding matches, offers the best day’s polo in Europe.
Cowdray Park’s outstanding value corporate package offers all day hospitality in a stunning marquee with private garden at pitch-side. Included in the ticket price are coffee and brownies on arrival, an introduction to the game by a polo professional, pre-lunch drinks during the first Semi Final match, a three course lunch with wine, traditional afternoon tea following the second Semi Final and soft drinks, wine or beer throughout the day.
The Final of the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup is considered one of the most stylish summer days out in the UK’s sporting season. Whilst champagne house Veuve Clicquot entertains a celebrity guest list in their sponsors’ marquee, Cowdray Park also offers a perfect country day for their corporate guests. With pre-lunch champagne in a private garden area adjoining the pitch, guests can expect to be royally entertained with a superb lunch including quality wines in the adjoining luxury marquee. They will watch the exciting Final seated on cushioned seats on the Grandstand (with yet more champagne) and mix with the celebrities during the mid-match ‘treading in’ of the divots. Afternoon tea and a farewell drink complete a fantastic day’s polo at Cowdray – although a little browsing in the up-market shopping village with 90 trade stands stuffed full of all kinds of country goodies just has to be fitted in too.
Cowdray Park can tailor make other opportunities for smaller parties during the tournament. Call the Polo Office to reserve your corporate package or discuss further options.
