The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club (RCBPC) has expanded its venue hire services, making a broader range of spaces available for public, private, and commercial use.
The club holds a licence enabling it to host up to 10,000 people, opening the site to large-scale gatherings including corporate events, festivals, concerts, weddings celebrations, and major functions.
Founded in 1985 by the late music executive Bryan Morrison, the club’s first member was H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.
Both Prince William and Prince Harry learned the sport at the club and have regularly played there, adding to its long-standing association with British polo.
The Clubhouse remains at the heart of the venue offering. It can host up to 100 people indoors and on its patio, and is fitted with a private bar, fireplace and cloakrooms, alongside a lawn area suitable for outdoor use. Marquee extensions can be added to create additional space for dining and dancing.
The Royal Pavilion, which was refurbished in 2018, provides space for up to 75 guests indoors or around 80 on its patio. It includes a commercial kitchen, private bar and bathrooms, as well as a balcony that overlooks Ground 1 and an adjoining outdoor terrace.
The Sponsors’ Area and Lawn is designed for large-scale outdoor occasions. Positioned at the edge of Ground 1 (the main polo pitch), it offers open space for marquees and hospitality, on-site parking for around 100 cars, and both water and power connections.
The expanded catalogue covers weddings, corporate functions, away days, meetings, product launches, filming, photography and private parties.
The stunning and vast grounds have also been used for television and film productions, including The Crown, Bridgerton and Made in Chelsea.
The club has a record of staging large-scale occasions, including the annual Polo Festival which attracts several thousand spectators.
It also regularly hosts company away days where team members are able to enjoy polo-based team-bonding activities as well as other functions.
Lexi Lea, commercial and operations director, said: “We’re delighted to be able to open the doors to The Berkshire to a wider range of people. We’ve got so many brilliant spaces available for a whole host of different events and are really looking forward to building our 2026/27 diary.
“The Berkshire was actually initially built to make polo more accessible to a diverse range of people. This applies to our events too where we welcome a really diverse range of events every year.”
Event organisers are able to choose from the different areas depending on scale and requirements.
RCBPC is now accepting enquiries from individuals, businesses and production companies. A full catalogue of event options is available.
