The Final takes place on Saturday 19th July at Cowdray Park in West Sussex.
This glamorous and enjoyable event is an essential date for the summer calendar and not one to be missed. The Championship will be hosted at the famous Cowdray Park Polo Club, widely recognised as the home of British Polo. The Cowdray Estate, located within the natural beauty of the South Downs National Park, is the perfect setting for an exciting final, only an hour and a half train journey from London Waterloo. The Final will take place at the Cowdray Park Ambersham Polo Grounds, Selham Road, GU28 OPR at 3pm on Saturday 19th July. Entry is £5 for non-members.
Kate Harrison, International Brand Manager for BLOOM Gin, says: “We are delighted to be able to continue support of Ladies’ polo in the UK and once again to work with Cowdray Park Polo. We feel the fit between BLOOM Gin which was inspired by the English countryside and the exciting sport of Ladies’ polo, is a perfect match and look forward to introducing our guests to some wonderful BLOOM cocktails and a quintessentially British experience.”
During the afternoon spectators will be able to buy BLOOM Gin and Tonics whilst watching the final.
BLOOM recently held a Ladies Bartender Competition with the theme being ‘Inspired by Nature’. The winner was Manuela Runggaldier with her BLOOM Treasure Cocktail which is a delicious mix of BLOOM Gin and BLOOM Sloe Gin with lemon juice, figs and ginger. She will showcase her winning drink at the BLOOM Gin Ladies Polo Championship.
BLOOM Gin is a premium London Dry Gin, inspired by Master Distiller Joanne Moore’s English country garden. Joanne, the world’s first female Master Gin Distiller, wanted to create a delicate, floral gin, particularly suited to the female palette, and took inspiration from the flowers in her own garden. Joanne used honeysuckle and chamomile and added the citrus fruit pomelo to make up the three key botanicals for BLOOM – each one contributing to the delicate gin drinking experience.
