Victor Ludorum 2019 Tournament

Victor ludorum, or Victrix ludorum, translates from Latin to ‘winner of the games’, which gives an idea of the prestige associated with this polo tournament.

Dallas Burston Polo Club are proud to have been selected to host the Victor ludorum 2019 tournament, for the fourth consecutive year, and Sunday 26th May will see the Stoneythorpe leg of the championship come to a dramatic conclusion, with all teams fighting to lift the Stoneythorpe Cup.

The first event of our summer and grass polo season, the Stoneythorpe final coincides with our Opening Season Party, which is definitely an event not to be missed.

Victor Ludorum Tournament 2019 Opening Season Party

And if that wasn’t enough excitement for one day, you can continue your Bank Holiday celebrations with us here at Dallas Burston at our 2019 Opening Season Party, which will follow the day’s battles.

Opening Season Party Details

A champagne and canapé reception will greet all those celebrating with us on arrival, followed by the presentation of the Gold Cup and a much-anticipated charity auction.

Next up on the agenda is the award for best-dressed lady, so, ladies, there really is no excuse not to go all out and make your outfit one to remember.

The prize-giving of the Chairman’s Cup is followed by a DJ and disco, to really let your hair down and celebrate the start of the summer season.

Dress code is summer formal, which means cocktail dresses for the ladies and chinos or trousers for the gentlemen.

Dress to impress and you may just bag yourself the best-dressed prize!
