Starting the season in style   
The 2025 season kicks off in May, providing the perfect backdrop to enjoy the spring sunshine with family and friends over two unmissable race weekends. The Season Opener (2-3 May) gets the season underway - with the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes such as going to visit the start line - while the May Festival (23-24 May) offers racegoers an opportunity to glimpse into the world of elite horse racing, complete with live music and three Listed races.

Swapping the concourse for the dancefloor 
Joined by internationally renowned DJs and raising the bar each year, Three Friday Nights presented by Degen Distillery (6, 13 and 20 June) will continue to offer racegoers and music fans alike the opportunity to dance the night away after a day of exceptional racing. Previously welcoming DJs including Annie Mac, Carl Cox, Claptone, Craig David and Example, the 2025 line-up promises to provide the ultimate soundtrack for an early summer evening of entertainment. Stay tuned for the acts for 2025 who will be announced in due course.

Family fun
During the height of the flat racing season, Goodwood’s Family Race Day on Sunday 8 June comes to life with a traditional fairground, talented magician and live music for the whole family to enjoy. The fun continues at the August Bank Holiday Racing (22 –24 August), featuring three days of world-class racing live music, and a spectacular firework display on Friday evening.  

End the season on a high
Showcasing two afternoons of competitive racing, Autumn Racing (2 & 24 September) provides the ideal occasion for a day out with family and friends in the early autumn sunshine. The 2025 season will then conclude with the Season Finale on Sunday 12 October, celebrating an incredible year of racing amidst a flurry of country tweeds, featuring the much-anticipated Alderbrook Handicap Stakes, as jump jockeys rise to the challenge of racing at Goodwood.

Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar and hospitality packages

About Goodwood Racecourse
Introduced to the Goodwood Estate in 1802 by the 3rd Duke of Richmond, the Goodwood Racecourse has long been steeped in horseracing heritage. From Lord George Bentinck’s winning horse in the 1836 St Leger, which was transported in secret from Goodwood to Doncaster, to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s horse Love Affair taking its final win, the racecourse has been home to some significant moments in horseracing history. 

Situated on the South Downs and hosting 19 race days from May through October, thousands of racegoers flock to one of the world’s most beautiful racecourses each year to enjoy a season of top-class racing and entertainment. With a varied calendar of fixtures, race day highlights include Three Friday Nights, the May Festival, the Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar—more affectionately known as Glorious Goodwood—and the Season Finale, to name a few.
