Chestertons in London has signed a five-year contract to continue its involvement with the world’s largest polo tournament, Chestertons Polo in the Park, continuing one of the property industry’s longest running sponsorship partnerships.
Since becoming headline sponsor in 2014, Chestertons has helped grow the three-day event, with around 30,000 people attending each year and tickets regularly selling out.
As well as attracting large crowds, the event also attracts some of the world’s best polo players and each year, top international teams – including those from India, Argentina, Australia and the US – take on the England Polo Team.
Giles Milner, Chestertons’ group marketing director, commented: “Chestertons has been part of London life for 220 years and is incredibly proud to have helped establish such an exciting and popular event which is now seen as one of the highlights of London’s ‘summer season’ and enjoyed by thousands every year, including many of our clients and staff. This deal will see our involvement in the event continue into its third decade and we look forward to ensuring the continued success of the event in partnership with the Sportgate team.”
Rory Heron, Chief Executive of Sportgate International – the event organiser – added: “We are very happy to have extended our fantastic partnership with Chestertons, with whom we have worked closely over the past 15 years to grow and develop Chestertons Polo in the Park into the most successful polo event in the world.”
This year, Chestertons Polo in the Park will take place from Friday 6th of June to Sunday 8th of June.
