2013 Features
We are delighted to announce a range of off-field features, entertainment and hospitality areas. Some are brand new
additions to the event and others are the welcome return of favourites from previous years.
KERB Food Market
KERB Food Market is a new pitch-side addition which offers an abundance of fresh produce from Britain and abroad.
Providing variety and great value food, KERB gives you the opportunity to sample some of the finest fresh produce and
delicious summer party favourites throughout the three-day event.
The Pommery Champagne Garden
The Pommery Champagne Garden gives spectators first-class service and spectacular views of the polo. Relax on the
deck chairs, challenge your friends to a game of table football or simply sit back in the salubrious surroundings and sip
on a glass of vintage Pommery.
Mahiki
2013 sees the return of London’s premier nightclub, which will take pride of place and offer some of the best pitch-side
views of the polo action. Renowned as one of the places to be in on the capital’s social scene, Mahiki blends a
Polynesian ambiance with chic luxury London living.
Crown & Corgi Pub
A proper British pub is clearly an important addition to such a quintessentially British sporting and social event. The
Crown & Corgi provides a fantastic vantage point from which to get close to the on-field action. In addition the bar has
been extended from last year so that you can spend less time ordering drinks and more time enjoying them.
The PIMM’S Bus
The iconic double decker bus will provide the centre piece of the white picket fenced PIMM’s garden. Their expert
mixologists provide you with possibly the most revered and established summer party beverage, which no British social
occasion would be complete without. Recline on the deck chairs and soak up the very best of British.
CLUBHOUSE
Stella Artois is proud to be the Official Lager Supplier to MINT Polo in the Park 2013.

of the brand.

music. The Club Med Kids’ Zone means that you can bring the entire family for a great day out with us.
Finals Day (Sun 9th June)
In addition to the weekend-long Club Med Kids’ Zone, Sunday 9th June will see not only the mounting tension of the
polo as the teams progress towards the final, but also a range of on-field entertainment between matches catering for
children of all ages. In addition to this, exclusively on Finals Day we will be running a range of on-field activities
especially for children. These activities will be free and will run from Midday until 1.45pm offering a great start to any
child’s day out. On-field activities will include a giant inflatable slide, relay races, British Bulldog and dodgeball run by
our partner charity, Walking With The Wounded. We will also have children’s entertainers circulating within the crowd
throughout the day, providing the ultimate family experience.
Charity Work
MINT Polo in the Park is delighted to announce that Walking with the Wounded will return as the official charity partner
for MINT Polo in the Park 2013. Walking with the Wounded raises money to fund the training of wounded service
personnel so that they are equipped with the skills and qualifications required to find long-term employment and create
