The racing itself is unmatched. Across the week, three Group 1 contests take centre stage: the £500,000 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes, and the £600,000 Visit Qatar Nassau Stakes. It is here that legends are made, as some of the greatest names in global racing compete for glory before the most stylish crowd in the sport.
Yet Glorious Goodwood is more than racing. From award-winning gastronomy and elegant hospitality on The Earl’s Lawn to live entertainment and vibrant social spaces, the festival has become synonymous with the very best of British summertime tradition. Every detail is designed to elevate the experience—whether you’re there for the thrill of the track, the theatre of fashion, or the joy of gathering in one of England’s most picturesque settings.
