At the recent Worcester Breast Unit and Three Choirs Festival polo day Beaufort, guests enjoyed a Champagne reception with jazz band, a demonstration of the rules of polo followed by a three-course lunch by classic caterers Williams Kitchen of Calcot and a charity auction conducted by auctioneer Philip Serrell.

The main event followed the auction as guests sampled the excitement of a polo match from the grandstand. The day was ended with everyone enjoying afternoon tea in the sun.
