After heavy rain led to the cancellation of the recent Clevedon polo, there was much understandable disappointment.
The good news is, the Times has one more chance for you to get dressed to the nines and sit in the sun with a drink or two while you watch the aptly named ‘sportof kings’.
Following the success of their two sold-out inaugural events in Auckland and Wellington last year ,the Heineken Urban Polo has announced the events will extend this year, including one at the Claudelands Arena in Hamilton.

Following the success of their two sold-out inaugural events in Auckland and Wellington last year ,the Heineken Urban Polo has announced the events will extend this year, including one at the Claudelands Arena in Hamilton.
The urban event is described by many as the best sporting event of summer, and showcases some of the world’s best Polo players with a fusion of the hottest local live DJs.
“Urban Polo is in the heart of the city. We sold out in both Wellington and Auckland last year, and based on that success we know the formula is right to launch in additional cities.
More fans will be able to enjoy the mix of music and the exhilarating sport of Polo” says Wilson.
Paul Hancox, NZME Head of Enterprise says, “The inaugural Heineken Urban Polo events were outstanding – it was fantastic to see a new event on the calendar create such a buzz. We are pleased to be partnering with the Heineken Urban Polo to use the power of our digital, radio and print offerings to kick it up a notch, and see the event expand into two new markets in 2018.”
In 2018 the Heineken Urban Polo, aptly named the sport of kings, will also retain its naming right partnership with premium beverage brand Heineken.
All locations are R18 licensed, safe and secure events, with fully stocked bars and alcohol
allocations available depending on tickets.
Taylor Green, Heineken Marketing Manager says they’ve been inundated with requests to take Heineken Urban Polo to new cities.
“Heineken is always looking to bring world-class events to life, so we are excited to be working with the Urban Polo team to bring a taste of the international action to Kiwis. Plus who doesn’t enjoy a few cold ones while watching world class athletes and DJs.”
