Polo, pizza and prizes: Enjoy a fun day out at Play for a Cure

Wednesday, 18 August 2021 01:00

A charity polo event is coming to Tedworth Park Polo Club, Tidworth on the 29th August to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK.

Natasha Ball started Play for a Cure in 2018 after her mother Vera was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Although she has now recovered, the event is even more important to Natasha as her Godmother recently lost her fight with breast cancer.

The event will consist of three polo matches: The Kadugli Cup, The KRH Cup and the Vera Cup. The Vera Cup is a charity exhibition game of all female players, and is named after Natasha’s Mum.

“We have a licensed bar, a pizza oven, a face painter, trade stands and an incredible raffle. There will be pony rides for children too. It’s aimed at being a fun day out for the whole family,” said Natasha.

Gates open at 11am with a donation of £10 per person at the gate. If you would like to pre-book a gazebo slot for £50, email info@tedworthparkpolo.com.
