The Club

Polo in the Cotswolds since 1894

Est. 1894

The oldest polo club in England

Cirencester Park Polo Club holds the distinction of being the oldest polo club in England, with a history stretching back to 1894. Set within the breathtaking grounds of Cirencester Park, the private estate of the Earl Bathurst, the club enjoys one of the most magnificent settings in English sport.

Cirencester Park itself is an extraordinary landscape. Thousands of acres of ancient parkland, formal rides, woodland and open ground provide the backdrop for polo that is played at the highest level, in a setting of remarkable natural beauty.

The club sits in the heart of the Cotswolds, one of England's most celebrated areas of outstanding natural beauty. The combination of world-class polo, a historic landscape and warm club community makes Cirencester Park Polo Club a truly unique destination.
