OUPC White Tie Ball; Natural History Museum, London; Saturday 14 May White Tie Extravaganza
The Oxford University Polo Club (OUPC) white tie polo ball was first held in 2014 and past venues have included Blenheim Palace, the Tower of London and Waddesdon Manor; after a two year hiatus due to Covid, OUPC came back with the largest ball in the Club’s history at the iconic Natural History Museum London and was attended by OUPC members and alumni, as well as members of 20+ polo clubs from all over the UK and internationally, with a total of 450 guests. The evening began at 7pm outside the entrance to the museum where guests were greeted by two Oxford Polo Ponies. The facade of the museum was illuminated in the colours of the Club. Upon entry to the museum there was a drinks reception in Fossil Way. Guests then proceeded to the iconic Hintze Hall where they enjoyed live entertainment and a lavish dinner, with pudding kindly provided by the Barefoot Bakery. After-dinner entertainment continued in Hintze Hall, where guests danced to an integrated live DJ-musician performance. Definitely a night to remember!

The Justerini & Brooks Prince of Wales Trophy has traditionally marked the start of the British high goal season since its inception in 1986 and this year’s Final between Twelve Oaks and Great Oaks Les Lions was a sun-soaked start to the year, with spectators enjoying the balmy mid-May sunshine. With a bumper number of teams in the British high goal this year, the sidelines were a who’s who of some of the top names in polo.
