Luxury & Celebrity Events in Chichester, West Sussex 2026

The Goodwood Festival of Speed, presented by Mastercard, celebrates motorsport history and automotive innovation across four days at the historic Goodwood Estate.

Founded in 1993 by the Duke of Richmond, the festival attracts Formula 1 champions, legendary racing drivers, motorcycle stars, and the world's most prestigious automotive manufacturers.

At the heart of the program is the famous 1.16-mile Hillclimb, where historic Grand Prix cars, contemporary Formula 1 machinery, endurance-racing icons, and cutting-edge hypercars compete against the clock.

Beyond the track, guests can explore manufacturer premieres, the Supercar Paddock, the Cartier Style et Luxe concours, and the latest developments in automotive technology. The weekend culminates in the Sunday Shootout, when drivers compete for the fastest Hillclimb time.

The 2027 edition will feature a new selection of automotive celebrations, manufacturer showcases, and motorsport personalities, with the complete program to be announced.

Five days of Flat racing unfold at Goodwood Racecourse for the Qatar Goodwood Festival, traditionally known as Glorious Goodwood and one of the highlights of the British summer racing calendar.

The meeting combines major races with the setting of the Goodwood Estate and a strong social scene across its enclosures, restaurants and hospitality spaces.

Goodwood Revival recreates the golden age of the Goodwood Motor Circuit across three days of historic racing, period fashion, and automotive culture. The entire event draws on the circuit's original 1948–1966 era, with historically significant racing cars and motorcycles competing rather than sitting in static displays.
