Taunton Vale Polo Club sits on the outskirts of Taunton in Somerset and focuses squarely on polo as its single discipline. The club welcomes beginners and novices through a programme of have a go days and structured polo lessons, with sessions aimed at people trying the sport for the first time as well as those building early skills. Group bookings and birthday parties are accepted, and polo pony hire is available so that newcomers do not need to bring their own horse to take part.
For players wanting more regular time on the field, the club runs practice chukkas on Wednesday evenings and hosts a summer fixture list of tournaments most weekends between May and September. Ground rental is offered to private teams looking for somewhere to run their own practices, and seating next to the pitch is provided so spectators can watch the action in comfort. Sunday morning lessons are scheduled on selected dates, giving riders a quieter alternative to the weekend tournament calendar.
The setting includes a thatched clubhouse built in 1911, which holds a licensed bar and serves food on event days. A fire pit adds to the atmosphere during cooler evenings, and on-site parking makes it straightforward for both riders and visitors. The club operates under HPA accreditation, reflecting its connection to the recognised governing body for polo in the UK.
The postcode is TA3 5DQ. Tournaments run from May to September, with matches typically starting at 2 pm on weekend afternoons, while practice chukkas take place on Wednesday evenings and lessons on some Sunday mornings. Anyone interested in booking a have a go day, arranging a group session, hiring ponies or enquiring about ground rental should contact the club directly for current availability and pricing.
