Discover Goodwood Estate: History, Events, and Where to Stay

Goodwood is famous for being one of the UK's most prestigious sporting estates, renowned worldwide for its iconic horse racing and motorsport events. Set within an 11,000-acre estate in West Sussex, Goodwood has a rich history dating back to 1697, when the first Duke of Richmond, the son of King Charles II, purchased the original Jacobean house as a country retreat.

The estate became a centre for horse racing in 1802 when the Duke of Richmond staged the first public race, laying the foundations for what is now one of Britain's most celebrated racing venues. Goodwood also played a significant role in motorsport history. Originally used as an RAF base during the Battle of Britain, the site was transformed into Goodwood Motor Circuit, which between 1948 and 1966 became the heart of British motor racing and hosted some of the sport's greatest drivers.

Today, Goodwood is recognised for its luxury experiences and world-renowned sporting events, including the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and the Qatar Goodwood Festival, attracting visitors from across the globe.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is West Sussex's biggest motorsport event, taking over the grounds of Goodwood House every July for four days. It brings together vintage motorcycles, classic Formula 1 cars, current supercars and concept vehicles that haven't even reached showrooms yet, all in one place.

The centrepiece is the Hillclimb, a 1.16 mile run up Goodwood House's driveway where drivers push historic and modern machinery flat out. Beyond the track, visitors get open access to the paddocks, bringing them close to the cars, riders and drivers rather than watching from a distance. The whole thing sits somewhere between a high-speed motorsport event and a summer garden party.

Festival of Speed Dates: Held every July. Exact dates are confirmed once tickets are released here.
