Host to the Virginia and International Gold Cups, Great Meadow is known for its varied and unique events. Its location in the heart of hunt country is reflected in the number of equestrian events held
here, such as Twilight Polo, Meadow Polo Matches, Derby Cross, the Great Meadow Trail Ride, International Silver Cup polo, the Gold Cup races, and more.

Twilight Polo

Pretty women, handsome gents, sumptuous tailgates and the romance of an evening under the stars combine to form a great party! Warm summer evenings, flickering fireflys, and the excitement of pounding hooves make the night's fun unforgettable.

Cost: $20 per car, or $10 if you come alone; new this season... the Polo Pony Express Meal Deal includes admission and meal for four for only $40.

About Great Meadow Events Center

Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s Piedmont countryside in Fauquier County, Great Meadow is a 250-acre field events center and steeplechase course operated under stewardship of the Great Meadow Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of open space for community use.

Great Meadow and the Great Meadow Foundation were founded and the land donated by news executive and philanthropist Arthur W. (Nick) Arundel 20 years ago. Until then, the property had been slated to become a development of more than 500 homes. Rescued from urbanization, the stunningly beautiful, rolling site has instead become a model for adaptive use of open space for community events. Today, Great Meadow has become a valued member of the Virginia charitable and national equestrian sports communities.

The continued kind support of our friends and guests helps make Great Meadow possible for generations to come. You can help to preserve open space by making a donation to the Great Meadow Foundation at 5089 Old Tavern Road, The Plains, VA  20198.
(Your contribution will be 100% tax deductible.)
