Our event insurance requires us to prohibit canines, with the exception of certified Service Animals. Please understand that this is important for ensuring the safety of the players and equine athletes competing in the match - as well as all employees, volunteers, vendors, and attendees.

Can I bring my own liquor?

Yes! No liquor will be sold on the premises. We will have Beer and Wine available for purchase from Lowcountry Taps.

No glass containers or other breakable items.

Please use serving items and tableware that will remain intact if dropped.

Generators are discouraged.

Please plan to tailgate without a generator as the noise can disturb those around you who are trying to enjoy the match. We understand that many improvements have been made with generators. If you would like to tailgate with a generator, it must be a quiet generator.

How long is the polo match?

Expect to be enthralled for about 2 hours. A traditional polo match consists of 4 to 6 chukkers (periods) lasting about 7 and a half minutes each. Half-time will include the time-honored tradition of stomping the divots - all spectators are welcome. Don’t miss the hat contest!

What do I wear?

You can come in your Lowcountry best or dress down a bit with a more resort casual ensemble. Whatever you choose, be comfortable and have fun. When choosing footwear, be mindful that the event takes place on a grass field. And of course… be prepared to show off those fancy hats!

How do I use my General Admission Ticket?

Your General Admission ticket gives you access to the polo event starting at 12p. Bring your picnicking items, chairs, etc. and set yourself up in the Traditional Experience Spectator Area. This is a first come, first served area. If an invitation is extended, you are also welcome to join your friends at their Reserved Space or Sponsorship Tent.

Will the field be treated for ants?
