For 20 years we have built up the retail and commercial side of large polo events, including the Kingpower Gold Cup Final at Cowdray Park, the most prestigious polo event in the UK, the 3-day Chestertons Polo in the Park at Hurlingham in London, the country’s highest attended polo event, and have been involved with the HPA Coronation Cup at Guards Polo Club, and the HAC 105 Cup at Ham Polo Club. Other events included the Greenpower Education Trust's National Finals at Goodwood Motor Circuit, and Chelsea AutoLegends, a historic car event at Chelsea Royal Hospital, London. In June 2018 we sadly closed the Works on Paper Art Fair, most recently held at the Royal Geographical Society in South Kensington. This highly regarded fair brought together more than 50 of the leading dealers in watercolours, drawings and prints and was renowned as a specialist fully vetted fair. |
