Goodwoof
A grand celebration of all things dog, Goodwoof is a new event dedicated to our canine companions.
At Goodwood dogs will forever be part of the family. Whether our canine companions are those at home in Goodwood House, at work on the farm, at play in the parkland of the estate or curled up next to us at The Kennels – we love to have them by our sides. Simply put, when our hounds are happy, we are too.
We’ve created Goodwoof to share our love of all things dog.

A treat for dogs and their humans
Our ultimate celebration of dogs will have something for everyone. Whether that’s watching national champions and world-renowned specialists bring top-class Flyball and Disc Dog action to the Arena, or CaniSports where hounds and humans race across the Goodwood estate.
Teach your dog new tricks
Why not introduce your dog to new tricks with ‘have-a-go’ sessions in an array of disciplines. Join a dog yoga class or explore the benefits of dog massage and reiki, enjoy one of our favourite dog-themed films at the open-air cinema or perhaps test your dog’s speed in The Fastest Dog 50-meter dash.

Dogs bring such joy to so many people that we wanted to create a totally different kind of event and one that really celebrates all that our canine friends bring to our lives; a real experience for everyone but most importantly for our dogs. I hope yours will bring you along!

The most luxurious Dog House in the World
Central to Goodwood’s history of hound appreciation, the Kennels will be the perfect setting for Goodwoof – a dog event like no other. In 1787, the 3rd Duke commissioned architect James Wyatt to create the most magnificent kennels ever seen for his adored hounds. Today it is Goodwood’s members’ clubhouse and the backdrop to Goodwoof, taking place on the Duchess paddock.

Spaniel Celebration
2022 is the year of the Spaniel at Goodwoof! A celebratory parade of spaniels – led by The Duke of Richmond – will weave its way through the event, taking centre stage and concluding with a photo opportunity in front of The Kennels. All Spaniels are welcome to join.
Follow us on social media
To this day, dogs can stay at the Hotel, accompany their owners in the restaurants, and even join our Members’ clubhouse, The Kennels. We thought that it was only fitting to dedicate an entire event to them, just as we do with cars and horses at our other flagship meetings.
