About this yard
Beaufort Polo Club is one of England's most celebrated polo clubs, set on the Beaufort Estate near Tetbury in the Gloucestershire countryside. Its history traces back to 1872, when Captain Frank Henry founded an earlier club on his return from the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers; the present club was revived in 1928-29 under the presidency of the Duke of Beaufort, and it carries official Prince of Wales patronage. The club runs a full summer season from May to September on grass polo pitches, and operates the Beaufort Polo School with structured lessons and courses for players from complete beginner to competitive level.
The Polo School offers private and group lessons, beginner courses, and polo experience packages, with polo ponies available for hire. The setting, inside the Beaufort Estate with the Cotswold countryside on all sides, is hard to match. Contact the club directly for current lesson availability and pricing. A seasonal clubhouse lunch add-on runs May to September with free entry to that day's polo, children can start polo from age 6, group bookings are discounted, and hen, corporate and gift bookings are all available alongside the summer Beaufort International festival.
