Ballroom
Executed in the French style of Louis XV, with a charming minstrel’s gallery to one end, this grand space is hung with portraits of Kings and Queens and the Dukes and Duchesses of Richmond and Gordon. The Ballroom combines romance with opulence, providing a memorable backdrop.
The
Egyptian Dining Room
Once seen, never forgotten: this room is a testament to the 19th century fascination with ancient Egypt and decorative opulence. The Egyptian Dining Room was recently renovated back to its former glory and is richly detailed with gilded cartouches, sphinxes and crocodiles.

This varies at each of our venues. The Kennels was originally built to house the third Duke's hunting hounds and today it is Goodwood's private members' clubhouse. Here, your dog will be able to attend for the full duration and celebrate with you and all of your guests.
At The Goodwood Hotel and Goodwood House your dog will be able to witness your ceremony. After this your dog would need to head off for an early night with a dog sitter or trusted friend. Please note that we can recommend a supplier for this; discuss this with your wedding co-ordinator to confirm the arrangements.
At The Goodwood Hotel we have dog friendly bedrooms, allowing for your dog to stay on site; the cost would be £30 for them to stay with us.
Hound Lodge is also dog friendly and dogs are welcome to join you here during your stay. Again, you would need to arrange for a trusted friend or dog sitter to look after them while you dance the night away.
