Goodwood is England’s greatest sporting Estate. The first Duke of Richmond originally visited this area of the Sussex Downs to enjoy the fox hunting with the famous Charlton Hunt. He bought the house in 1697, and it has remained the seat of the Dukes of Richmond ever since.

Over the past three centuries Goodwood has played a prominent role in the English summer season. Today, thanks to world-renowned events such as the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood, there is no finer place in the country to enjoy motor sport and horseracing.

In addition to the high-speed thrills of the racetrack, guests of Goodwood can also enjoy two championship golf courses, the very best shooting, cricket matches on one of England’s oldest grounds, and even the opportunity to take off from a celebrated Battle of Britain airfield.

With a range of luxury accommodation, an award-winning restaurant and a fully equipped health club at your disposal, we hope you will enjoy discovering Goodwood’s famous hospitality first-hand.

Goodwood was designed to be shared and enjoyed – ever since the time of the first Duke of Richmond visitors have enthused about the hospitality shown to them here. In 1740, the actor Colley Cibber came to stay and wrote to his host “Good God! How I will rejoice with you! For who can want spirits at Goodwood? Such a place, and such company!”

Many famed and glittering gatherings have taken place throughout the last 300 years; we celebrate this illustrious heritage of entertaining, keeping tradition alive and relevant for a modern audience. From the spectacular Goodwood House with its magnificent Regency interiors, to the classic yet contemporary design of our Members’ clubhouse, The Kennels. From the iconic Motor Circuit, which remains unchanged since its heyday, to the Racecourse, which is one of the most beautiful in the country. From the historic Aerodrome, formerly an airfield during the Second World War, to The Goodwood Hotel, once a coaching inn as early as 1780, there are many inspirational choices for entertaining, all within the glorious 12,000-acre Estate.

When it comes to food, Goodwood is well placed, with the largest lowland organic farm in the country. Goodwood Home Farm supplies fabulous home-grown produce right across the Estate, from the most delicious cuts of rare-breed meat to our renowned Goodwood cheeses and ales.

A WEALTH of CHOICESSteeped in history and quintessentially English, Goodwood offers unrivalled entertaining opportunities.

Our Members’ clubhouse features a drawing room, dining room, bar and private conference areas. The Kennels was built in 1787 as a home for the 3rd Duke’s foxhounds. At the time it was regarded as the most luxurious dog house in the world.

Considered one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture, The Kennels has been meticulously restored, breathing new life and energy into this 18th-century masterpiece. At Goodwood our aim is to combine elements of the Estate’s heritage with the very best of contemporary design to create a uniquely British feel. The Kennels, with its harmonious fusion of Georgian architectural detail and modern design flair, perfectly reflects this philosophy.

Enjoying magnificent views across the Park to Goodwood House beyond, The Kennels is a magical place for lunch or dinner. It has an outstanding restaurant that serves locally sourced food, with the Estate’s very own award-winning Home Farm supplying much of the produce.

Once an 18th-century coaching inn built by the third Duke of Richmond to house the many guests visiting Goodwood House, The Goodwood Hotel was originally called The Waterbeach Inn, because centuries earlier the sea had reached this far. Located next to a huge seven-acre walled garden that supplied vegetables and cut flowers for the House it was always a hive of activity, with numerous guests dropping in for lunch during Raceweek, or from shooting parties and cricket matches.

Today, The Goodwood Hotel offers an ideal base from which to explore the many events and activities the estate has to offer. With a vast choice of inspirational spaces, whether you are looking for somewhere to hold brainstorming sessions, intimate meetings, exciting product launches or important conferences, we offer numerous possibilities, within beautiful surroundings.

Our chefs take inspiration from Goodwood Home Farm to produce innovative menus. Guests can dine at the relaxed and lively Bar & Grill or at our exciting new restaurant, Farmer, Butcher, Chef; where a genuine relationship between farmer, butcher and chef creates an adventurous menu, showcasing the finest quality home-grown organic meat, dairy and ales.

For rest or reinvigoration, the Hotel’s health club has its own indoor pool, sauna, steam and Jacuzzi. Goodwood’s personal trainers offer group yoga or fitness classes out on the stunning lawn, or within the state-of-the-art gym, while the Waterbeach spa offers a range of restorative treatments from Elemis and Elemental Herbology.

AVIATION EXPERIENCES

Goodwood Aerodrome was built during the Second World War as a satellite airfield to RAF Tangmere. Formerly known as RAF Westhampnett, Hurricanes and Spitfires were stationed here, ready for aerial combat that is now known as the Battle of Britain. It was also from here that aviation pioneer, Douglas Bader, took off on his final wartime sortie.

Today the 286-acre site is a thriving centre for aviation offering remarkable aircraft that can transport you through the ages with a range of unforgettable flight experiences in the most beautiful of settings over the Sussex Downs and south coast. There’s also the chance to offer your clients, colleagues, family or friends a privileged view of the world-famous Goodwood motor sport events with a choice of aviation experiences.

Opening this year will be a purpose-built Aerodrome Building that features a pilot’s lounge, briefing rooms for our own Flying School and a fabulous Aerodrome café with outdoor seating overlooking the grass airfield and glorious English countryside beyond. This is the ideal place to soak up the incredible atmosphere of Goodwood, while immersing yourself in the history and romance of aviation.

The Downs CourseGolf’s five-time Open Champion James Braid designed The Downs Course in 1914, and his trademark dog legs and cross-bunkering make it as compelling as ever. While conserving its heritage and tradition, the 7104-yard course has been sensitively renovated for today’s golfer. The scale, grandeur and aesthetic quality have all been improved, enhancing the spectacular views across the Estate and beyond, and playing surfaces are maintained to the very highest standards.

The Kennels clubhouse provides beautifully appointed facilities, with walnut lockers and soft Pima cotton towels. Our unique Woody buggies, designed by Lord March’s grandfather in the 1930s, even come complete with wicker baskets for sandwiches and Champagne.

The Downs Course and Goodwood HouseFor 40 or more players with a gala dinner in Goodwood House. From £195 plus VAT per person.

The Park CourseWorld-renowned golf course architect Donald Steel was commissioned to produce a design that would reflect the prestige of its stunning backdrop: Goodwood House and its 18th-century cedars. The result is an easy-walking 6650-yard course that suits all levels of golfing ability but still provides ample challenges for any golfer. Indeed, the calibre of the course has been confirmed with the successful hosting of national and international tournaments.

The Park Course Golf Centre is located at The Goodwood Hotel, where guests can enjoy superb facilities including stylish locker and shower rooms and access to the informal Bar & Grill, which serves delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere throughout the day.

GOLF AT GOODWOOD

Goodwood is blessed with not one but two beautiful 18-hole golf courses, allowing players to choose the level they want to play at according to their game, or even their mood. The Downs is widely considered the finest downland course in England, and is rated amongst the country’s ‘Top 100’ courses. It has fast-running fairways, undulating greens and dramatic changes of level thanks to its location amid the downland valleys and hills – ideal for those who want more of a challenge.

For a gentler day’s golfing, you could choose The Park, where the tree-lined fairways take you on a pleasant stroll across the parkland in front of Goodwood House. All this in the heart of some of southern England’s most beautiful countryside.

With a heritage stretching back to 1914 and two very different courses to choose from, golf has always played an important role at Goodwood.

The FESTIVAL OF SPEED

For anyone with a passion for motor racing, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is the highlight of the year – an exhilarating four-day celebration of the fastest, most powerful and most beautiful cars in the world.

Motor sport was originally brought to the Estate in 1936, when the 9th Duke of Richmond – himself an exceptional racing driver – hosted a hillclimb on the private road in front of the house. In 1993, the Earl of March set out to revive racing at Goodwood. Today the festival is the biggest car culture event in the world and the only event outside of a Grand Prix which all the major Formula 1 teams attend.

From watching the world’s rarest cars sold at auction to the thrill of possibly seeing Lewis Hamilton or Valentino Rossi sprint up Goodwood’s 1.16-mile hill, this is an experience like no other. The extensive range of hospitality options at Goodwood guarantees you have the best seats in the house for this colourful, high-octane event.

Enjoy a breathtaking combination of cars, stars and motor sport luminaries at this world-famous motoring summer garden party.

motor sport ever – there’s nothing like it. Probably

every year I’m on this planet I’ll be here."

The only major sporting event in the world to be set entirely to a period theme, the Goodwood Revival is an exhilarating fusion of fun, fashion and full-on racing.

Launched in 1998 by the Earl of March, marking exactly 50 years since the opening of the original Goodwood Motor Circuit, this unique gathering has a famously upbeat and engaging atmosphere, and offers a great deal more than just beautiful cars and natty dressing. Take your pick from aerial displays featuring rare historic aircraft, striking period music, a vintage high street for shopping, an old-fashioned funfair and even a circus – all adding up to a truly unforgettable experience.
