Polo hospitality: Saddle up & learn the sport of kings with England great Lolly Stanhope-White
Famed for its speed, skill and precision – not to mention its untouchable glamour – just watching a polo match is a thrill. Now imagine taking to the saddle yourself at Gala’s celebrity polo day, with England great and Level 2 HPA Coach Lolly Stanhope-White guiding even the most timid first-timers from a gentle trot to mastery of the mallet.

Forget the polo stereotypes. You don’t have to be a royal or millionaire playboy to try the sport of kings at our state-of-the-art venue near Andover. With numbers flexible – up to forty guests – just ask the Gala team about creating a polo day package for your budget. Just as important, no experience is necessary. In fact, 95% of our polo hospitality guests are new to the sport, but with our fully trained polo ponies and industry-renowned instructors, we can smoothly guide you from novice to confident rider.
It’s hard to imagine a better trainer than Lolly Stanhope-White. Having travelled the world with her country – including a call-up to play for the England Ladies Team vs an All Africa side – Lolly is charismatic, kind and experienced, ready to share both professional polo tips on the field and stories from her successful career at a Q&A over lunch.
With everything provided, including British standard and approved riding helmets, gloves and polo sticks, all you need to bring to these celebrity experiences is your adventurous spirit and a wide smile.
