Luxury VIP Polo Hospitality at the ultimate beach polo venue 

Sand Polo, Sandbanks, Poole

Sand polo is a firm fixture on the UK sporting hospitality calendar and as an annual event is one to consider if you love to combine the love of beach vibes, polo and parties! As well as the polo action over the day there is plenty of other action and entertainment. The evening beach party acclaimed music line up will have you dancing the night away under the stars until midnight each evening. This event sells out very quickly, therefore if you want hospitality at the sand polo we highly recommend booking early to avoid a lot of disappointment. 

The polo at Sandbanks in Poole is the largest beach polo event in the UK. The beach at Sandbanks is sectioned off to create a natural sand arena right next to the waves! Spectators are really close to the beach polo action, where they will witness fast and furious polo matches on the sand with end to end visual excitement. With the most incredible backdrop of the English channel the 'SandPolo' event at Sandbanks attracts serious glamorous company, including A-list celebrities, sporting legends, models, sponsors, and thousands of spectators. The event is an intoxicating mix of polo action, VIP hospitality, and as for the evening polo party.... This beach party is absolutely legendary! British Sandpolo festival gives you the opportunity to party hard into the early hours whilst mingling with polo players and celebrities.
