WELCOME to
GOODWOOD
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.

A WEALTH
of CHOICES
Steeped in history and quintessentially
English, Goodwood offers unrivalled
entertaining opportunities.
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.
GOODWOOD
HOUSE
The Dukes of Richmond have been entertaining
guests at the magnificent State Apartments
in lavish style since the 18th century.
An exceptional opportunity to treat this historic house as your own, the
State Apartments at Goodwood House are home to one of the country’s
finest art collections, including paintings by George Stubbs, Canaletto
and Van Dyke. From glamorous parties in the Ballroom, to supper in the
Egyptian dining room, formal meetings in the Tapestry Drawing room
or a private lunch in the Card room, there are numerous possibilities.
A spectacular venue for entertaining, Goodwood House builds on its
historic legacy, continuing the high levels of service that have existed for
over three centuries. Guests will be warmly looked after by our team of
butlers, who will ensure they have everything they need. Our chefs will
create special menus using the finest produce, sourced locally or from
Goodwood’s award-winning organic Home Farm, and our experienced
in-house event planners will be on hand to organise every detail, allowing
you time to relax with your guests.
The
KENNELS
This exquisite Georgian building combines
contemporary dining and entertaining spaces
with stylish service and stunning views.
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.
HOUND
LODGE
Hound Lodge is a private country retreat within
the heart of Goodwood’s magnificent 12,000-acre
Estate and the ideal place to entertain clients.
As the home of the world’s first major foxhunt and the
very reason the first Duke of Richmond bought a house at
Goodwood in 1697, The Kennels, and later Hound Lodge were
considered to be the most luxurious dog houses in the world.
Authentically restored in quintessential English style, Hound
Lodge offers you the chance to host a private house party, while
the Hound Lodge butler and chef will make sure you and your
guests are well looked after at all times.
This magnificent 10-bedroom sporting lodge is the ideal
place for guests to enjoy everything the Estate has to offer; from
countless country pursuits to world-renowned sporting events,
or just chance to explore some of the 12,000 acres of unspoilt
rolling countryside.
Hound Lodge offers a rare opportunity to escape the
frantic pace of modern life and experience a world of peace
and tranquillity. Whether an important business event, senior
board meeting or private celebration, you can be confident your
guests will have a relaxed and memorable experience.
The
GOODWOOD
HOTEL
After a day of Goodwood thrills, this former
18th-century coaching inn is the perfect place to
enjoy a relaxed dinner and a restful night.
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.

ULTIMATE
DRIVING
Join the ranks of motor racing greats with a drive
around Goodwood’s famous Motor Circuit or spin
and slide on the low-grip surface area.
During the heyday of motor-racing in the '50s and '60s, many of the
world’s most famous drivers raced on Goodwood’s motor circuit –
names like Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill.
Originally opened in 1948 by the 9th Duke of Richmond, a
passionate and talented racing driver himself, the circuit underwent
an immaculate restoration in 1988 to put it back to exactly as it was
in the 1950s. Today, you can join that illustrious line of motor sport
greats by testing your own skills on this historic and very fast circuit or
alternatively, master the art of powerslides, handbrake turns and J-turns
on the low-grip surface area.
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.

GOLF AT
GOODWOOD
With a heritage stretching back to 1914 and two
very different courses to choose from, golf has
always played an important role 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 fastrunning 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.
The Downs Course
The Park Course
Golf’s five-time Open Champion
James Braid designed The
Downs Course in 1914, and his
trademark dog legs and crossbunkering 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.
World-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.

Horseracing has taken place on top of the South Downs since 1801,

the Sussex Militia. It was such a success that the following year he
held Goodwood’s first public race meeting.
Today, in addition to the world-famous Qatar Goodwood
Festival, there are 14 days of high-class racing at Goodwood,
where the colour, excitement and spectacle of seeing racehorses
and jockeys close up is more than matched by the stunning

The
FESTIVAL
OF SPEED
Enjoy a breathtaking combination of cars, stars and

summer garden party.
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.
"I think this is the most
special weekend for
motor sport ever – there’s
nothing like it. Probably
every year I’m on this
planet I’ll be here."

GOODWOOD
REVIVAL
Rediscover the golden age of the automobile
at the world’s most famous historic motor
race meeting.
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. Here, over the course of an
action-packed weekend in September, the world’s rarest and most
valuable vintage racing cars battle it out on the track, cheered on
by an army of enthusiastic classic car fanatics, all immaculately
dressed in Forties, Fifties and Sixties-inspired ensembles.
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.
"It’s like walking back
perfectly into a black and white
photograph, except it’s in colour
and 3D. It’s amazing."
