Set high on the undulating Sussex Downs, with stunning vistas of gently rolling countryside to the north and towards the sea and the Isle of Wight to the south, Goodwood Racecourse is considered by many to be simply the most beautiful racecourse in the world, and we agree!
The world famous five-day Festival Meeting is the pinnacle of Goodwood’s Flat racing season, known admiringly as ‘Glorious Goodwood’, for many it is the highlight of the summer, described by The Times as “One of the most beguiling of racing weeks”. The meeting attracts the very best entries from the international world of horse racing, heart stopping races such Johnny Murtagh’s momentous and unforgettable 2007 Nassau Stakes win on Peeping Fawn, and a crowd that’s both fashionable and knowledgeable.
The mood is relaxed, yet stylish, epitomised by Edward VII’s affectionate description of it as “A garden party with racing tacked on”. The combination of sublime surroundings and world-class racing makes Goodwood the perfect place for entertaining. Whether in a private box or at a table in the Charlton Hunt Restaurant looking straight down the course, you’ll enjoy top class food, impeccable service and meticulous attention to detail. |
