The award-winning Veuve Clicquot Polo on the Beach returns to Watergate Bay for the fifth year on September 6th 2011, with the promise of speed, excitement and some of the country's top professional polo players.
Over the past four years Polo on the Beach has built a reputation both in Cornwall and the polo world as one of the highlights of the autumn events calendar. With many of the UK's top polo players queuing up to play, this year's match on Tuesday 6th September is set to be the most exciting yet.
Six professional polo players, one umpire and nearly 30 horses will take to the sands to play four fast-paced chukkas (periods of play lasting six and a half minutes) in a small arena measuring 100m by 50m. The two teams, sponsored by Joules and First Great Western, will compete for the Watergate Bay Trophy.
Veuve Clicquot Polo on the beach is completely free to attend. The match starts at 6.30pm, and to help spectators soak up the atmosphere ahead of the game, the Veuve Clicquot champagne bar and The Beach Hut barbeque will be open on the beach from 3pm.
