Big hitters confirmed for Cornish Beach Polo The free event, to be held at Watergate Bay on Monday 14th September, will see two teams play a fast-paced exhibition match on one of Cornwall’s best-known surfing beaches.

This year the two teams, sponsored by Midas Construction and South West Polo, will be made up of some highly experienced and talented players drawn from the ranks of Britain’s professionals.

England international Richard Blake Thomas will be joined by Sandhurst's polo manager Barbara Zingg, arena polo specialist Tim Vaux from Somerset, and Andy Burgess, founder of South West Polo.

The public can enjoy free access to the beach at Watergate Bay, with the unique opportunity to watch the match at close quarters without the restriction of ticket-only seating or private enclosures.
