After witnessing the action on the field, guests will be treated to an award winning afternoon tea from L’Escale, with a specially curated whisky salute to end the season. To add to the prestige of the event, the Most Valuable Player will be awarded a jacket specially created for the Royal Salute World Polo Series by British Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons.
