Watch me neigh neigh
Hagley Park will echo to the sound of hooves (and
probably champagne corks) on Saturday February 10
when the much-anticipated Lexus Urban Polo comes
to Christchurch. The glamorous guests will witness both
men’s and women’s international matches and will get to
see Australia’s FIP World Cup squad in action, with the
team travelling throughout New Zealand in the leadup
to the event. And of course it’s not just about the
ponies – fashion, food and music also feature strongly at
the event, with a stellar line-up of top Kiwi DJs including
General Lee, Dick Johnson, Clint Roberts and more to
get down to in your best summer party attire.

Welcome to
Margaritaville
We’re calling it – it’s officially
the summer of the margarita
in a can! The latest in the
lineup, Club Sola, comes via

brand Batched and offers up a
trio of easy-drinking, ready-todrink,
top-shelf margis (250ml
10-pack, $32) made with
certified tequila distilled in the
Jalisco region of Mexico. Crack
open a Classic for a perfectly
balanced blend of tequila, lime
and salt topped with sparkling
water, a Watermelon & Lime
with a splash of citrus and a
twist of juicy watermelon, or
our current fave, Pineapple
& Chilli, where sweet meets
spicy meets super refreshing.
