This unique day will unfold on the stunning grounds of Hurtwood Park Polo Club, Surrey, on Saturday, July 27th, 2024. 

As well as the exhilarating polo matches, Lux Afrique Polo Day is an exciting social gathering attracting celebrities and VIPs from entertainment, business, politics and sport who all come together under the summer Surrey skies in their finest African attire, for a day of highly anticipated glitz and glamour as they gather to watch the incredible spectacle of the Sport of Kings. 

For the first time this year, Lux Afrique Polo is delighted to be sponsored by Drip, a canned water brand founded in 2023 by British TV Chef , rapper and BAFTA winner Big Zuu disrupting the bottled water market. The brand aims to shake up the packaged water industry with its aspirational lifestyle branding while also being committed to sustainability, choosing to use recyclable cans over single-use plastic bottles. 

Fashion is at the heart of Lux Afrique Polo Day, and once again, it will take centre stage with unique displays of clothes, shoes, bags, hats, and handbags with an African theme. 

Lux Afrique is thrilled to announce that Hollywood actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, star of Lost and The Mummy Returns,  will be launching his brand new fashion line at the event.

Founder of Lux Afrique Polo, Alexander Amosu shared his excitement saying: “Each year, this event grows in stature and genuinely proves that it is the Black Ascot – and this year is another year where we will celebrate and showcase the best of Africa. I’m delighted our event is fast becoming a permanent fixture on the social calendar and to also be playing a part in breaking down stereotypes and preconceptions of Africa.”
