These popular events can attract large numbers of visitors, so if you already know your dates, it’s worth planning your Goodwood accommodation well in advance.
The Goodwood motorsport season gets underway in April with the 84th Members’ Meeting.
Taking place at the legendary Goodwood Motor Circuit, this two-day event celebrates historic motorsport with incredible racing, iconic cars and the unique atmosphere that Goodwood is famous for.
If you’re staying in the Chichester area, you can combine your motorsport weekend with a walk along the coast, a visit to Chichester city centre or a relaxing evening back at your holiday home.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the biggest dates in the motorsport calendar.
From 15–18 July 2027, Goodwood House becomes the backdrop for an extraordinary celebration of cars and motorsport, bringing together legendary machinery, famous drivers and spectacular action.
It’s easy to spend the whole day immersed in the Festival of Speed, but there’s plenty more to enjoy in the local area.
Take a morning stroll along the beach, explore the historic streets of Chichester or head towards the South Downs for a scenic walk before settling into your holiday home for the evening.
For families or groups, staying in and around Chichester gives you the opportunity to enjoy the Festival of Speed while also experiencing the best of the Sussex coast.
Known to many as Glorious Goodwood, the Qatar Goodwood Festival takes place from 27–31 July 2027.
Five days of top-class horseracing, fashion and summer socialising make this one of the highlights of the West Sussex summer.
Why not extend your stay and make the most of the surrounding area?
Spend an afternoon on West Wittering beach, explore the villages around Chichester Harbour, enjoy lunch in Chichester or simply slow down and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Sussex countryside.
A Goodwood visit doesn’t have to be all about the racing.
The Goodwood Revival returns from 17–19 September 2027, bringing the Goodwood Motor Circuit back to the golden era of motorsport.
Historic racing cars, period fashion, classic vehicles and the atmosphere of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s make Revival unlike any other motorsport event.
Whether you’re visiting for the racing, the cars, the fashion or simply the atmosphere, it’s a fantastic excuse for an autumn break in West Sussex.
After a day at Revival, head back towards Chichester and enjoy an evening meal, relax at your holiday property or take a refreshing walk along the coast.
