Guards Polo Club plays on Smith's Lawn in Windsor Great Park, a few miles from Windsor Castle and west of London. It was founded on January 25, 1955, with Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as its president, a role he held until 2021. King Charles became its president in 2024. The club's premier tournament, the high goal Cartier Queen's Cup, is played in June.
Henley Regatta was first held in 1839 on the Thames at Henley-on-Thames. In 1851 Prince Albert became its first royal patron, and every reigning monarch since has kept the patronage, which is why it is called Henley Royal Regatta. The crews race over 1 mile 550 yards in the first week of July.
John Christie opened Glyndebourne at his house in the Sussex Downs in 1934, with Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. The festival runs from May to August, and the long interval is taken as a picnic on the lawns, in evening dress.
The Duke of Richmond brought motorsport back to his estate at Goodwood, in West Sussex, with the first Festival of Speed in June 1993. The Goodwood Revival followed in 1998, on the old motor circuit, where visitors come dressed for the circuit's years, 1948 to 1966. Glorious Goodwood, the summer race meeting, fills a week of late July and early August on the downs above.
Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire was built for the 1st Duke of Marlborough after his victory at Blenheim in 1704. Winston Churchill was born there in 1874, and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
Royal Ascot fills a week in June (Horse racing), and Wimbledon follows from the end of June (Tennis).
