How to book a session

Club members can book academy sessions online, priced at £150 per session.

Sessions may be booked on an ad hoc basis, or you may choose to secure your place for the full season in advance. Players who book the full season will be invited to a special event such as an away day, an exclusive clubhouse gathering, or an end-of-season asado.

  • WELCOME-TO-POLO DAYS

    If you’re a confident rider but have never really played polo, do come along to one of our one-off polo induction days. They’ll run prior to and throughout the season, and are perfect for those just looking for a taster of the sport, or who need a brief induction before deciding on joining the academy. These sessions are open to non-members, and will be bookable online soon, at a price of £295.
