Horse Racing | Press Article 29/07/26

Goodwood has renewed and expanded its long-standing partnership with Moët Hennessy UK with multiple brands across all Goodwood motorsport events and at Goodwood Racecourse, which this week hosts Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar (28 July – 1 August).

The new five-year deal with Moët Hennessy UK represents one of the longest-standing partnerships across the Sussex estate. Now in its 25th year, Veuve Clicquot remains the Official Champagne of Goodwood’s motorsport and horseracing events, with Yellow Label poured across all hospitality pavilions. The brand is also the headline sponsor of the Veuve Clicquot Molecomb Stakes, a Group 3 horse race for two-year-old thoroughbreds, run over five furlongs during Qatar Goodwood Festival.

Whispering Angel will continue as the Official Rosé Wine of Goodwood Racecourse with its popular Oak Tree Lawn Bar activation, pouring rights across the venue and sponsorship of the Whispering Angel Nursery Handicap, the Class 2 race for two-year-olds, run over seven furlongs at Qatar Goodwood Festival. In addition, the award-winning French Bloom becomes the Official 0% Sparkling Wine at motorsport and horseracing events and will be served at all Veuve Clicquot bars. 

Adam Waterworth, CEO, Goodwood, said: "Our relationship with Moët Hennessy UK has been an important part of the Goodwood experience for 25 years and we are delighted to be extending the partnership. Our shared commitment to exceptional guest experience and creating memorable moments has made this a natural and enduring collaboration.”

He added: "While continuing to serve Veuve Clicquot and Whispering Angel, we are pleased to introduce French Bloom to our events for anyone looking for an alcohol-free option. Together, these exceptional brands will continue to enhance the hospitality offering across our motorsport events, racecourse and estate, ensuring our guests enjoy world-class experiences in every setting."

As well as Qatar Goodwood Festival, the new deal covers the recently held Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, Goodwood Revival presented by Dunlop (18-20 September) and Goodwood Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport, which will take place next year (10-11 April).
