Goodwood, England: Part of the unique appeal of Goodwood Racecourse is its incredible setting. Set high in the Sussex Downs, Goodwood is renowned as being one of the most beautiful racecourses in the United Kingdom, if not the world.
It forms a key part of the magnificent 12,000-acre Goodwood Estate, situated just outside Chichester with stunning views out to sea and as far as the Isle of Wight on a clear day.
The estate boasts a four-star hotel, luxury spa and health club, championship golf course, one of Europe’s largest lowland organic beef farms, a motor circuit and aerodrome.
Famed for embracing innovation as strongly as it protects tradition, it stages two of the largest and most popular motorsport events in the world, the Festival of Speed in late June each year and the Goodwood Revival in September.
More than 100,000 people flock to the racecourse during the five days to enjoy this chic, relaxed and glamorous festival that celebrates the best from the worlds of fashion and horseracing.
For many, world-class sport is the backdrop to a fabulous day out, and Glorious Goodwood is unique. Widely regarded as one of the most stylish race meetings in Britain, but this doesn’t come about through the enforcement of stringent dress codes.
It is a more relaxed affair — top hats are replaced with Panamas, ladies wear pretty florals and hats, while guests in all enclosures enjoy drinks to the lilt of live music.
