After an amazing weekend of hillclimb action and anniversaries celebrating 30 years of the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, Goodwood is delighted to announce that the 2024 event will take place from Thursday 11 - Sunday 14 July.

Last weekend saw the Festival of Speed celebrate its 30th anniversary in style with a trio of thrilling balcony moments for Ferrari Le Mans winners James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Miguel Molina, a host of MotoGP™ teams and riders and four-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel. 

Visitors to the event were some of the first to see automotive world exclusives, debuts and reveals, with this year’s event hosting the biggest number of debuts seen at the Festival of Speed in its 30-year history.

As motorsport’s ultimate summer garden party returns to West Sussex in 2024, fans can expect to see even more global car launches, discover the latest technology and meet their motorsport heroes.

2023 Saturday cancellation roll overs
For the first time in its history, the Festival of Speed was cancelled on Saturday 15 July. All ticket holders who were affected have now been contacted, with a large proportion choosing to roll over their tickets to 2024. This means that Saturday 13 July 2024, is already limited and we anticipate that the remaining tickets will be in high demand.
