Polo steps into the spotlight after sunset as Wellington welcomes a refined new nighttime experience.
On January 9 at 6 p.m., the International Polo Tour’s IPT Hotels at Sea Polo Team will open the inaugural evening of Polo After Dark at Flying Cow Polo Club, bringing arena polo under the lights in a setting designed for both competition and atmosphere. The evening introduces a more modern take on the sport, pairing high level play with an elevated social environment.
Guests can enjoy food and beverages available for purchase throughout the match, with the evening extending beyond the arena. Should the Hotels at Sea Polo Team claim the win, the night continues with an Après Polo Party at 9 p.m. at 12389 Equine Lane, offering a polished setting to gather after the final chukker.
The event also supports We Will Survive Cancer, aligning sport and philanthropy in a way that reflects Wellington’s equestrian community at its best.
With illuminated play, a streamlined format, and a post match social element, Polo After Dark adds a sophisticated after hours option to the Wellington polo season while maintaining the sport’s competitive edge.
