Luxury accommodation near Goodwood Festival
The Festival of Speed, most famous of the many festivals hosted by West Sussex estate Goodwood, sees racing fans flock to the stunning South Downs every year.
Motoring enthusiasts don leathers and head to Chichester for four days of searing hot track action every summer. This July festival brings together cars, races and motoring action in a series of events that includes a hill race, forest rally, and a Future Lab where guests get a peek into future automotive tech, while in the the First Glance Paddock there’s a line-up of the very latest vehicles. With merchandise stands, plenty of food and drink points, and space for personal picnics, there’s plenty for all.
This is no silent disco, and regular Goodwood goers know to bring ear defenders, or bag a pair on arrival from the stands. Children will love the dedicated autograph-signing area, meeting car stars up close, and they also get priority on the front rows of all standing steps. Reserve one of our luxury homestays nearby, and enjoy a spacious and bespoke self-catering haven at the end of a busy day trackside. Perfect for whipping up those picnics or marking up events for the next day’s automotive action.
