Visitors heading to the Tonino Lamborghini Residences Dubai Beach Polo Cup Dubai 2018 next month can get into the festive spirit early thanks to the tournament’s first-ever Christmas Market.

The tournament, on December 13-14, will be packed full of unique and stylish gift ideas. On offer will be items ranging from arts and crafts, jewellery, holiday gifts and toys to home décor and health and wellness products.

The tournament returns to Dubai Harbour (formerly known as Skydive Dubai) and for the first time, there will be free admission to the Shams Public Zone with fans needing to register online at www.800tickets.com beforehand to get their pass.

Along with the Christmas Market, there will be food outlets and premium beverages available plus free entry into the legendary after-parties concluding both days of polo action.

If visitors are looking to make it an extra-special polo weekend, tickets to the VIP Majlis Zone are also available to purchase via www.800tickets.com and include F&B and premium beverages.

On Thursday, December 13, the doors will open at 7:30pm with the VIP red carpet from 8-9pm and the opening ceremony followed by the first match from 9pm. Once the final chukka has been played, the fun continues with an after-party in the Majlis Zone from 11pm.

Friday is finals day with the doors opening at 4:30pm, the VIP red carpet from 5-6pm and the semi-final starting straight after the opening ceremony at 6pm, just as the sun begins to set. Guests attending finals day will also be treated to spectacular entertainment including a half-time show and fireworks.

The winning team will be presented with the iconic trophy just before the tournament’s closing after-party in the Majlis Zone from 10pm, which is again open to all fans.
