Full Description
The Prince of Wales Ground at Longdole Polo Club offers a unique venue for your wedding. The Marquee seats up to 150 guests and is a blank canvass for you to put your own stamp on it. Here you also have the use of our Bandstand which was originally owned by George V at Ascot racecourse. Y

We can provide a polo match to be playing when guests arrive, or after the reception.

to say everything was perfect would be an understa
We held our wedding reception at Longdole Polo club in October and to say everything was perfect would be an understatement. After the ceremony, which was just a mile away at the beautiful Brimpsfield church, it was so easy for our guests to get to the polo club from there. Not only is Longdole set in stunning Cotswold surroundings, it is also very accessible and within easy reach of the M4 and M5 motorways and close to local hotels and B&Bs for our guests to stay.
Staff at Longdole couldn’t be more accommodating and really went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was just right. From the position of our marquee and its set-up beforehand (and all the disturbance that goes with that!), to providing staff behind the clubhouse bar and ample parking/pick-up points.
If we could redo the whole day again, we would and we would change nothing. Longdole have provided us with the most wonderful memories and for that, we are so thankful.
