The Goodwood Revival presented by Dunlop immerses visitors in the time between 1948-1966, an era when Goodwood was at the heart of British motorsport and the Make Do and Mend approach kept clothes, cars and curiosities in circulation. The Revival refigures this through a modern lens and becomes a living film set: a sharply dressed crowd, a cast of icons and incredible live music.
It’s the Revival Style Village that brings together all of the event’s fashion stories for the ultimate celebration of second-hand style. From star-studded talks on film and fashion, live DJ sets and the legendary Best Dressed Competition presented by Ancestry, to tutorials from skilled artisans in the neighbouring Workshop, here you can find the timings for each day’s activities.

Festivities commence with a DJ set at 10:00, with the first confirmed talk inviting an industry panel of experts to explore the future of vintage taking place at 11:45. They’ll reveal the many secrets of the trade and the digital trends shaping tomorrow’s secondary market.
We’ll then take a deep dive into the craft of costume design and the evolving dynamics of the fashion marketplace. Author Keith Lodwick and Fashion Editor Sarah Bailey will take audiences behind the scenes of cinema history, exploring Cosprop's iconic wardrobe creations for classics ranging from A Room with a View to Mrs Harris Goes to Paris at 12:45.
Another DJ set will keep the energy high at 13:30, but excitement will certainly already be building for the at 15:00, where Dandy Wellington will introduce the event’s most stylish visitors to judges Paula Sutton, Adele Mildred, Charlotte Dellal and Herbie Mensah, and the party will continue into the evening with a final DJ set at 16:15.
