Cambridge County Polo Club
would like to say a big thank you to our sponsors and guests.
Thank you for your support during the 2021 season, it has had its challenges,
to say the least, but we are now turning our attention to the 2022 season.
We will be back in May 2022 bigger and better than before and look forward
to inviting you back for more Polo & Picnic Days at the club in Lode
Welcome to Cambridge County Polo Club, nestling in an idyllic rural setting of 220 acres of polo estate, between Cambridge and Newmarket, close to Anglesey Abbey. The Polo Club boasts five pristine polo grounds laid on black peat, to cushion the ponies limbs. Our exciting family orientated Polo & Picnic Days allow our weekend polo tournaments to be enjoyed by the public and players alike with our Pitchside Bar forming the hub of activities. The social side of the club is enjoyed by its members, and it centres itself around the oak framed club house with its unique Punt Room.
Cambridge County Polo Club, was established in 2008 by Ed Wright, a polo playing farmer. He decided to create a well organised, professional playing club in these outstanding grounds. As a farmer he fully understands how to maintain the pitches to the highest level, the grade one soil cushions impact for the welfare of the polo pony’s limbs and joints. Ed enjoys encouraging new members to learn to play polo, in this fun, family orientated club, but warns the game can be addictive. He and his partner Sarah jointly manage the club and in addition to the Polo and Picnic Days they will be hosting corporate events, in the grounds and The Punt Room, the stunning oak framed club house.
Cambridge County Polo Club is opening its doors this summer to host a series of prestigious Polo & Picnic Days.
