About Goodwood Racecourse

Goodwood Racecourse is steeped in horseracing history dating back to 1802 when the 3rd Duke of Richmond introduced the sport. Significant moments within horseracing’s history have taken place at Goodwood Racecourse. Lord George Bentinck commissioned the first ever horsebox to take his horse in secret from Goodwood to Doncaster to win the 1836 St leger. In 1952, Goodwood became the first British racecourse to provide racegoers with live commentary. It was also at Goodwood that Her Majesty The Queen has her last winner with her horse Love Affair.

There are 19 fixtures that take place across the season from May – October. One of the highlights of the flat racing season takes place at Goodwood Racecourse, the Qatar Goodwood Festival. Once described by King Edward VII as ‘a garden party with racing tacked on,’ the world-famous five-day festival - affectionately known as ‘Glorious Goodwood’ - sees many of the world’s greatest horses battle it out for honours. Thousands of people flock to the world’s most beautiful racecourse to enjoy top class racing and entertainment.

Tickets, dining and hospitality are on sale for the Qatar Goodwood Festival, which takes place from 30 July to 3 August. Visit Goodwood.com or call 01243 755055 to find out more. Best priced tickets with a 15% discount are available until 31 May.
