More than 450 people attended the hospitality area, which this year was moved pitch-side, and included celebrity guests such as Julian McDonald, Billie Piper and David Gandy.

Ted Walker, head of marketing at Keith Prowse, told Event: "With the event changing sponsor, we decided to make a change, and the feedback received was that it would be nice to be alongside the pitch. We think it worked very well because it makes sure guests are more involved with the polo."

It was the second year that Audi were the main sponsor of the event - where England and the USA competed to win the Westchester Cup, the sport’s oldest trophy - and the first time that Boujis nightclub hosted the after party.

Catering was provided by Payne & Gunter. Guests were welcomed with Moet & Chandon champagne and Pimms, before sitting down to a three-course lunch that featured Dorset crab and smoked trout on a watermelon plate with cucumber ketchup, sirloin of beef with roasted truffle and wild mushroom mousseline. Dessert was a giant strawberry macaroon with strawberry and basil salad.

The battle then commenced for the Westchester Cup. England beat the USA 12-11 in the first chukka of extra time and HRH Prince Charles presented the cup to Luke Tomlinson, captain of the Audi England team.

Guests were then served afternoon tea, before the Boujis after party kicked off with headline sets by Pete Tong and Groove Armada.

Walker added: "Sunday was a fantastic event for all involved, and feedback from our customers has been extremely positive. It offers a great opportunity for networking, spectating, and enjoying the best of Keith Prowse’s official hospitality – and our partnership with Boujis ensured celebrations carried on into the night."
