Fancy a game of polo, while being surrounded by dazzling guests, dancing to great music and indulging in some delectable cuisine? If the answer is yes, then we’ve got the best premium event to cater to all your signature lifestyle needs, with African Deluxe Company officially confirming the 2023 edition of the Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park.
Play Some Joburg Polo in The Park
Having launched in 2019 and back for a third year, the Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park will be taking place this September at the Polo Fields at the esteemed Inanda Country Base in Kyalami.
With high fashion, good music and delectable gourmet food and drink, the event offers a delightful way to enjoy the sport of kings as they host a unique format of polo. The game will feature only three players aside from an inflatable ball, unlike the hard ball used in traditional matches.
This game version 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.
“With Polo being the sport of royalty, the Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park delivers when it comes to upholding this regal upstanding image… Combining the game with high fashion, engaging live entertainment and world-class catering options, helps us create an unforgettable experience for all who attend.”
Ben Moseme, African Deluxe Company
