Why do a Discover Polo Lesson?

  • Challenge & thrill of learning to ride a Polo pony - especially for non-riders - who make up 65% of those we teach - something totally different - Polo is an exhilarating all around team sport.

  • Polo is a tactical team sport and is ideal for those who enjoy interesting and competitive sports  - come with your friends and have a friendly match!

  • Beautiful surroundings and magnificent facilities in the Surrey countryside but easily accessible to London and Heathrow - great for a weekend day out - bring the family and a picnic!

  • Challenging yet safe because of our highly trained staff and ponies and use of an enclosed all-weather arena. Instructors are all Hurlingham Polo Associated accredited.

  • Special Events catered for - memorable and exciting birthday or Christmas Parties, Stag or Hen Days

We have a proven formula for fun and safety!

Ascot Park Polo Club is home to the largest all weather arena in Europe measuring 100m x 50m. The outstanding size of the arena means the standard of polo remains high allowing fast paced, three-a-side arena polo.

The surface is specifically designed for polo and only needs rolling after 4 chukkas so play is not interrupted. Many other surfaces require rolling after 2 chukkas.

Champagne Challenges will continue to be organised allowing members to play competitive winter polo at all levels. Challenges will range from 2 to 8 goal with 2 patrons and 1 professional player to 8 goal and above with 1 patron and 2 professional players. 


Ascot Park Polo Club continues to be the leading club in structuring polo for its members and provides opportunities for them to improve their polo in a competitive environment away from match conditions.

Professionals already confirmed as playing at Ascot Park for the winter season include Howard Hipwood, David Morley, Roddy Matthews and James Wayland.

They are all happy to help you improve your game and will be delighted to play with you in Champagne Challenges.


Ascot Park Polo Club will provide a personal polo management service, ensuring you have a busy fixtures list with plenty of opportunities for matches and tournaments.
