Goodwood Motorsport Events - Festival of Speed, Members' Meeting & Goodwood Revival

No dogs or other pets are permitted into the Festival of Speed, Members' Meeting or Goodwood Revival, nor should they be left in your car or in the campsite. Only guide/assistance dogs are allowed on site, at the owner’s sole risk and responsibility. Please bring along certification if appropriate and ensure your dog is wearing a branded harness if you have one.

You are very welcome to bring along friends and family to watch your experience. There are plenty of places for them to sit and watch and we will help guide them to the very best look out points for those all-important pictures! 

Of course! We'd love for you to bring your phone/camera and take as many photos or videos as you wish to share with your friends after the event. Just make sure you're not taking photos/videos when you're driving!
