Luxury stays near Chichester, West Sussex

Every September, the Goodwood Motor Circuit becomes the setting for one of the most extraordinary celebrations of historic motorsport anywhere in the world.

The Goodwood Revival combines thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing with vintage fashion, classic cars and the unmistakable atmosphere of a bygone era.

Taking place from 18th to 20th September in 2026, the three-day event recreates the golden age of Goodwood Motor Circuit, with racing machinery from the circuit’s original 1948-1966 period taking centre stage. Goodwood describes the Revival as the world’s most spectacular historic motor racing event and the only historic race meeting staged entirely in period dress.

More than a historic motor racing event

Part of the magic of the Goodwood Revival Meeting is that the experience extends far beyond the racing itself. Visitors are transported back to the 1940s, 50s and 60s, with period-inspired clothing, entertainment and displays helping to transform the circuit into a wonderfully immersive celebration of vintage style.

Many visitors embrace the occasion by dressing for the era, from elegant tailoring and tea dresses to racing-inspired outfits. Combined with priceless historic racing cars competing at speed on the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit, it creates an atmosphere quite unlike any other motorsport event.
