Spectators are welcome to bring their own food and drink to the polo. The clubhouse will open during tournament hours where visitors can purchase light refreshments and snacks.
05
Can I BYO?
Yes. We just ask that you drink responsibly and definitely don't drink and drive!
06
What do I wear to the Polo?
Arunga Polo Club is a place to relax and enjoy yourself, so there is no dress code. If you need a bit of guidance, you can't go wrong with jeans boots and a shirt for the lads and the same for the ladies, although dresses are also a hit. Leave the high heels in the car as the lush grass makes it difficult to walk and you really want to be stomping those divots with some flatties. But feel free to bring them out at night when the party gets started in the clubhouse.
Dont forget a hat and a jumper or jacket for when the sun sets behind the big Blue Mountains.
Is it Child Friendly?
Yes it is child friendly! A day out to the polo is a fantastic way to entertain the kids, so pack a picnic, gather the troops and head on out for some lovely fresh air and space to run! There is a safety line that all spectators need to stay behind, so just keep that in mind and keep your eye on the ball... it doesnt get better!

Is Saturday or Sunday better for Spectators?
Definitely Sunday. The whole weekend consists of fabulous polo, but finals are held on Sunday, and that's when the crowds role in.. so come and support your favourite horse, player, or team.
