The popular twilight Polo in the Park, part of the 2015 Australian International Three Day Event (Aus3de), will return to Adelaide’s Victoria Park Racecourse on Friday 20 November 2015, in a nail biting showcase of power, beauty and equestrian athleticism.
Open to all members of the public for free, as well as VIP packages, the Aus3de Polo in the Park is the polo for the people, attracting crowds of followers to the beautiful parklands to watch the Game of Kings.
South Australian celebrities, including fashion icon Liza Emanuele and The Advertiser’s Antimo Iannella, will judge the hotly contested Fashions in the Field competition in the VIP Chairman’s Lounge.
Aus3DE Event Director Gillian Rolton said the Polo in the Park was originally created as a mini event for the spectators of the Australian International Three Day Event.
“This is the third year we have featured the Polo in the Park as part of the Australian International Three Day Event,” she said. “It is a popular event, and attracts equestrian enthusiasts, corporates, general public and tourists alike.”
“This year will be no exception. The event will see some of the best players from across Australia battle it out in an A Grade polo match,” she said.
Mirroring the effect Twenty20 has had on cricket, the ‘Polo in the Park’ will feature music, live commentary during the match, and player interviews during the half-time break. Bars with direct views of the polo field will be open to the public, along with fresh food outlets and music, creating a lively twilight setting to unwind after work.
There’s also the option of enjoying the spectacle from the exclusive VIP marquee, which includes luxury lounges, arena-side tables, tantalising food and drinks, and the opportunity to rub shoulders with Australia’s elite polo players.
Tickets to the Polo in the Park VIP Marquee are limited and are available from $150 via www.ticketek.com.au. This includes a four hour food and beverage package.
General admission is free. Gates open at 6pm and the event concludes at 10pm. For more information and the full Aus3DE program, visit www.australian3de.com.au. #Aus3de
