Formal Dress Guide - Cartier International Polo

The Cartier International Polo Day takes place each year at the end of July on Smith's Lawn within the Great Park at Windsor.

It is hosted by the Guards Polo Club, which was founded in 1955 and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has been its President ever since. Cartier has been sponsoring this most prestigious event for years. The great marquee is the place to see celebrities.

Otherwise it is also fun to watch the chukkas from the grandstand and to have a picnic on the lawn in the car park before. The Queen is usually present and awards the prices and on occasion also the Prince of Wales can be seen playing polo. However, the Argentinean teams generally play the best.
