Go Ahead Events' first Toast Festival attracted 20,000 people to Clapham Common as polo is reintroduced to the three-day event.
The ninth annual event, organised to celebrate New Zealand, Australian and South African culture, took place from Friday, 26 June until Sunday, 28 June. It was Go Ahead's first year of running the festival which was previously managed by Brand Events.
Local wine, food, music and culture featured alongside international matches kicking off each day in association with the Ascot Park Polo Club.
Professional players representing New Zealand, Australia and South Africa took on the Brits with commentary from world renowned Kiwi polo player and coach, Peter Grace.
Visitors could visit fashion shows and experience polo for themselves during dedicated sessions.
Highlights included national icons including Dave Dobbyn, John Torode and lessons from Kiwi BBQ gourmet Raymond van Rijk.
