History

JWVP began one sunny afternoon in June 2007. It was a gathering of around 1000 spectators accompanied by the Pimms Bus that came to watch Oxford play Cambridge and Harrow take on Eton.

In 2008 the event grew; not only were there approximately 5000 people in attendance, but Oxford, Cambridge, Eton and Harrow welcomed the addition of the Harvard Vs Yale exhibition match to the fold. The 2008 spectacle also saw the debut of Bike Polo as well as the first live music acts on the day and an onsite after-party!

On the 6th June 2009 the heavens opened, but fortunately spirits remained high! Oxford returned to take on SUPA Champions Durham, and Harrow took to the field once more against a talented Millfield side; whilst Harvard and Yale relished another opportunity to battle it out. 2009 also saw the arrival of the Unsigned Teepee and the Silent Disco in the party tent, manned by Sam Young and Goldie Rocks late into the night.

The 2010 event promises to be another fantastic day packed with Polo, live music from JWunsigned, Bike Polo, Pimms Bus, Silent Disco and a couple of other surprises. See you there!
