Arena Gold Cup Players’ Party – 19 February 2011 Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club

The mystique of Mayfair comes to the Berkshire The infamous Arena Gold Cup Players’ Polo Party, hosted this year by Mayfair’s Cirque du Soir, was a very lavish affair. Following a casual tapas-style lunch, which was well received by all, Cirque du Soir treated the players and dignitaries to a variety of acts from polo playing emus to burlesque dancers and contortionists. For those who preferred a more traditional party, DJ Chico kept the crowd at the Berkshire partying late into the night. It was a fitting finale to an exciting day of polo, following an exhilarating five-chukka final. The Berkshire would like to give special thanks to Cirque du Soir for such a memorable after-party and to Altyon for their support of the whole event. Adrenalin Polo, La Chamiza, The Polo Magazine and UberPolo also presented prizes.
