The day-time event is followed by after-party entertainment by DJ Sam Young, who has performed for George Clooney and Idris Elba.
Sandpolo founder Johnny Wheeler previously said: “The support for Sandpolo over the years has been phenomenal.
“It is always such a privilege to bring this spectacular event to Sandbanks.
“Looking back at the photos and films from last year, after a long and rainy winter, makes me incredibly proud of the team and everyone that supports our event.
“Above all, our guests who continually turn up and support us."
