Arguably you’re not a Melbourne socialite unless you go to the Portsea Polo. Now in its 19th year, the annual match draws the who’s who of the city to the seaside town for a jolly good match of polo and frivolities.
This year more than 6,000 visitors are expected to make their way south to Point Nepean National Park to enjoy a glitzy day of drinks, entertainment and (of course) professional polo matches. The day will include three matches as well as a fashion parade, ladies’ and men’s dash, DJs and divot stomping – where the crowd gets to head onto the playing field to stomp down the clumps of grass churned up by the horses.
The event always buzzes with the chatter of media, celebrities and influencers who come dressed in their #ontrend best. Only the hoightiest toightiest will be invited to the Alfa Romeo marquee, but us regular plebs can still score a spot on the grounds for under $100.
