Beach polo returns to Elie this weekend
The Ship Inn in Elie is holding its third annual Beach Polo tournament this weekend.
The ponies and riders are back on the sand for our third Beach Polo Tournament, and it's shaping up to be a lovely afternoon by the sea.
It's completely free to watch. Come down, find a spot on the beach and enjoy the action.
We’re looking forward to welcoming back teams from the St Andrews University Polo Club and Dundee and Perth Polo Club for an afternoon of action on the sand, and to welcoming Glasgow University Polo Club for their first visit to the beach at Elie.
St Andrews took the honours last time, so they arrive with a title to defend, and the other two with something to settle.
First chukka is at 2pm, with the traditional stomping of the divots along the way. Once the polo finishes, live music in the beer garden from Cammy Cairns (5pm-8pm) takes the afternoon through to the evening.
The Ship Inn Beer Garden will be open, with the BBQ, Beach Bar and Ship’s Galley serving food, drinks and ice cream from 12 noon.
