Frequently Asked Questions

A hillclimb through the grounds of Goodwood House, run since 1993. Formula 1, rally, Le Mans and motorcycle machinery take the 1.16-mile course one at a time, the paddocks are open to walk through, and around 200,000 people come across the four days.

Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 July 2027. Thursday opens the festival, Friday runs the timed hillclimb sessions, Saturday carries the shootout heats and the British Pullman day, and Sunday closes with the Timed Shoot-Out final.

On the Goodwood Estate near Chichester in West Sussex, about 90 minutes from London. The hillclimb runs through the parkland in front of Goodwood House.

It depends on the day you pick, the hospitality you choose and the size of your group, so call us and we'll price it properly for you. Every booking is arranged over the phone.

As early as you can. Hospitality at Clark, Moss and the Library Lawn sells through well before July, and the British Pullman seats go quickest of all.

Your chosen pavilion (the Clark, the Moss or the Speed Library Lawn) with dining and drinks through the day, or the British Pullman journey from London with brunch and dinner onboard. Grandstand access around the hillclimb comes with every option.

Smart casual works in every hospitality pavilion, and the estate is parkland, so comfortable shoes earn their place. On the British Pullman the dress code steps up: smart casual or vintage, and no jeans or trainers.

Gates open at 7am, the hill runs from around 8.30am, and the day winds down by 7pm. Your hospitality is open through the day, so you set your own rhythm around the track action.

However suits your group. Pavilion hospitality comes with on-site parking, or take the British Pullman from London Victoria and we handle everything between the platform and the festival. Chichester is the nearest station if guests are arriving separately.

Around 200,000 across the four days, which is why hospitality matters here: a reserved base with proper dining, drinks and parking, away from the queues.

Goodwood streams the hill live online and highlights make broadcast, but the festival is built for being there: the fences sit metres from the course, and the paddocks are open.

The entry list lands in the months before the festival. Recent years have brought current Formula 1 drivers, World Rally crews and MotoGP legends, plus the season's new cars on debut; 2026 paired Lando Norris with Valentino Rossi.
