Polo club procures private pitch

From 2 to 5 July, Monte Carlo Polo Club is organizing its 3rd Polo Cup, promising a mix of upmarket luxury and seriously exciting sport.

The posh international competition is taking place in the hills, 10 minutes from Monaco, at a private field that's to be inaugurated during the 3-day event.

In addition to cheering on the teams of the 10-goal tournament, ticket-holders can look forward to:

• an opening ceremony including parade around Casino Square
• cocktails and parties
• a women's hat competition
• a closing charity gala raising funds for Fondation Princesse Charlene, with Russian artists' work and a fashion show by Russian designers
