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!

Your space number is provided on your ticket. All spaces will be labeled for easy identification. Bring your own tent, chairs, and any other picnicking essentials you may need…or grab something from our wonderful food vendors.
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.
