Top Ten Gifts from Goodwood
This festive season, we are thrilled to offer a wide choice of exciting gifts and experiences. It’s certainly been a tough year and as we look to 2024 we hope to inspire you with our ‘Top Ten Christmas Gifts’ and bring joy to someone special this Christmas.
1. The Goodwood Black Gift Card
For the person who has everything and is always a challenge to buy for, the Goodwood Black Gift Card offers the perfect solution. It can be used across the entire Goodwood Estate - from thrilling adventures on the track and in the air, to a delicious meal in one of our restaurants, tickets to one of our world-famous sporting events or even some organic home-grown produce from Home Farm.
The lucky recipient can choose to spend it however they wish so it’s the ideal gift when you just don’t know what to buy!
2. The Goodwood Race Simulator Experience
Discover your inner Sir Stirling Moss as you take on the historic Motor Circuit from the Simulator Suite. Feel every part of the challenging track as you get to know all of its fast-sweeping corners, quick straights, and tight chicane. The Exsim VR5 Simulators use D-Box actuator technology and custom-developed motion profiles to offer a truly unique, virtual racing experience on the iconic Circuit.
RACE SIMULATOR EXPERIENCE - FROM £50
3. Afternoon Tea & Tour
Alternatively, treat someone you love to a fabulous afternoon tea and tour at Goodwood House. Explore the estate’s magnificent art collection within the State Apartments followed by a delicious afternoon tea in the Ballroom.
For the first time ever, we are opening the House throughout January and February so you can look forward to roaring log fires and an afternoon of culture and comfort. Our pastry chef is well-versed in creating mouth-watering treats which are perfect to enjoy on a cold winter’s day.
4. Farmer, Butcher, Chef
For those who appreciate the finer things in life, why not treat someone special to lunch or dinner at our award-winning flagship restaurant, Farmer, Butcher, Chef? Not only do the mouth-watering menus showcase our meat and produce in terms of flavour, quality and provenance, but nestled in the heart of the estate and surrounded by the stunning interiors, dining at Farmer, Butcher, Chef is the perfect gift on all fronts.

7. Play with a Pro
There are few golf courses as iconic as The Downs course at Goodwood, which lies in the heart of the South Downs with breathtaking views across to the Solent and beyond.
A round on this championship course is as challenging as it is fun, why not treat yourself (or someone else if you are feeling particularly generous), to 18 holes with one of the brilliant PGA professionals?
Whether you'd like some guidance on your golf swing or are keen to prove you can keep up with the pros, this experience will certainly be one to remember.
8. Stay at The Goodwood Hotel
As seen in the Sunday Times ‘Top 100 Places to Stay’
For those wishing to give someone the gift of a well-deserved holiday, then look no further than a short break at the Goodwood Hotel. It’s the ideal destination to take part in exciting activities, from a woodland walk to a round of golf, and the 12,000 acres of stunning parkland boasts plenty of space to explore and enjoy the fresh air.
9. Take to the Skies
Soar through the beautiful skies above Goodwood and the Sussex countryside. The Harvard is the perfect experience for anyone interested in the history of the Second World War, whether it be the extraordinary feats of engineering or just wanting to experience the flight of a lifetime in a warbird.
This experience takes you back in time, as your Instructor will explain the roles that Goodwood Aerodrome and advanced training aircraft like the Harvard played during WWII, as well as how that continues today.
10. The Goodwood Shop
Discover unique gifts from the Goodwood Shop – both the menswear and womenswear collections epitomise quintessential Goodwood style, or choose from a wide range of luxury sporting accessories and original event merchandise.
