The landmark society polo event for Mother’s Day has returned for 2015. The highly anticipated weekend will take place on Saturday, May 9 – offering guests an opportunity to treat the Classic as a destination event. Relax and enjoy world‐class polo competition, live music, gourmet food and good ole’ fashioned country hospitality – all set on a picturesque estate under the stunning backdrop of the
Blue Mountains, and only a 50‐minute drive out of Sydney’s CBD nestled in the Hawkesbury region. Sure to place a fresh twist on the much loved occasion, is the debut of the Polo Society ‐ an exciting new series of chic events to run throughout the year which will offer a complete foodie, frivolous and festival experience. Known as the Sport of Kings, polo in Australia is attracting a wider audience and is one
of the fastest‐ growing spectator sports in the world, particularly among women. The charity event is perfect for mothers, friends and families alike to enjoy a day of unique activities ‐ including 3 x feature polo matches, quality entertainment, fashions on the field and stomping of the divots. Stroll through the charming market stalls and immerse yourself with the premium interiors, arts & craft, flower crown master classes, and sample the local harvest. Relish in a picnic by the polo – delicious hamper packages are available online and
have been specially created by renowned chef Simon Ekas, with fresh produce from
the region; or graze through a variety of gourmet food stalls, wine tastings and pop-up
bars offering a variety of craft beers and champagne. Money raised goes towards the charity Inala ‐ a Rudolf Steiner organisation supporting individuals living with disabilities through day programs, supported employment and residential services in Sydney’s North‐West and East. The Inala fete area allows children to run amok with face painting, train rides, jumping castle and the kids’ dash across the field! Over the years, guests have included Nicole Trunfio, Sam Armytage, Kris Smith, Jesinta Campbell, Cameron Williams, David Campbell, Darren McMullen, Luke Jacobz, Prinnie Stevens, Mahalia Barnes, Blanche d’Alpuget and the honorable Bob Hawke.
