THE EVENT
The world's largest and most successful polo series returns to Rockhampton on Saturday 4 June 2022, bringing with it award winning entertainment, glamour, excitement, premium food, champagne and the thrill of the world's fastest ball game, presented in the guise of Urban Polo.
Pop Up Polo is an experience that is difficult to forget or surpass.
For an epic 'beer garden' vibe, book in for the Polo Lounge experience. Your $65 ticket includes event entry, DJ entertainment plus access to a bar and bar menu.
If you prefer to lounge around in a more intimate 'private club' environment, book in for the Polo Club experience. The Polo Club Marquee is the event's premium hospitality asset, designed as an all inclusive food & beverage experience situated between the VIP Marquee, and the public Polo Lounge Marquee. Your $249 ticket includes a premium interior setting with a gourmet canape menu, fine wines, beers, spirits plus all of the polo action from a perfect vantage point.
Best of all, Pop Up Polo isn't just a game to be watched from the side lines, it's an interactive event with a number of opportunities for the punters to get involved in events like The Divot Stomp, Men's & Women's Fashion on the Field, Car Vs Pony Race and the Men's and Women's Dash.

WHAT TO WEAR
Think sophisticated and tailored day wear.
For the ladies, choose colours that suit your style - dark romantic floral pieces or bold coloured striped options are always a hit. Floaty, long sleeved maxi dresses paired with a wedge or embellished flat will keep you stylish, on trend and more importantly, comfortable. While horses are involved, this is not the races, so no fascinators! Instead, opt for a straw hat or fedora or bold sunglasses and a head scarf.
For the gents, stay clear of dark suits, t-shirts and thongs. Chinos or a tailored pant paired with loafers or two-tone brogues are your go to. For something a little sharper, try a classic shirt (maybe with a little gingham!) teamed with a bow tie, blazer or sports jacket.
