Joburg Polo in the Park

Posted on by

I attended the inaugural Standard Bank Polo in the Park in 2019, and it was indeed a spectacular day!

Now, this much awaited polo event is back for 2023!

African Deluxe Company, event producers of the Joburg Polo in the Park, have officially confirmed the 2023 edition of the Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park, set to take place this September at the Polo Fields at the esteemed Inanda Country Base in Kyalami, with tickets sales currently open.

Back for a third year, the Joburg Polo in the Park first launched in 2019, encapsulating the time-honoured sport of Polo with high fashion, good music and delectable gourmet food and drink.

The Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park offers a delightful way to enjoy the sport of kings as they host a unique format of polo featuring only three players aside from an inflatable ball, unlike the hard ball used in traditional matches. The game captures the imagination of equestrian lovers in grand style, allowing spectators to get up close to the exciting action while enjoying all the thrills of the matches.
