POLO AT THE MANOR This prestigious summer sporting event and social occasion returns to Celtic Manor on Saturday 13th June 2015, with more than 3,000 people expected to join us for another glamorous afternoon of champagne, ponies and picnics.

As well as thrilling professional polo matches and hospitality in the main pavilion or private pods, guests can also enjoy a visit to the Polo Village, the delights of the champagne bar, a pampering treat on the Elemis SpaBus and fabulous live entertainment throughout the day.

Played on a specially constructed polo field set against the backdrop of the magnificent Twenty Ten golf course, host venue of The 2010 Ryder Cup, Polo at the Manor once again promises to be the social event of the season.
