For a great family day out look no further than our Family Race Day, in association with WellChild, an exciting day out for children and an opportunity for the whole family to experience the world of horseracing at Goodwood. Gates open at 11:30am and the first race will start at approximately 1:30pm.
All the fun of the fair arrives at Goodwood for our Family Race Day, featuring a traditional carousel, helter skelter, balloon modeller and bubble artist - your little ones are guaranteed to be entertained all day long.
When the racing begins, catch our dedicated bus for a trip to the race start and watch the runners and riders burst from the stalls in a blur of colour and beating hooves - it's truly an unforgettable sight.
We are very happy to announce that popular pups, Chase and Skye from PAW Patrol will be making a special appearance at our Family Race Day!
Keep an eye out for the pair at intervals throughout the day, as you enjoy your raceday on the Downs. We know your little ones will be very excited to see this heroic duo, so don’t forget to bring the camera!
Come inside our hub of entertainment!
Your children can hop upon our equicizer, to experience the feeling of riding a racehorse and perhaps ignite an ambition of becoming a jockey!
WellChild, our Family Race Day charity partner will have plenty of games to enjoy, from 'guess the name of the rabbit,' to an exciting treasure hunt, fit for little explorers.
Have you ever met a racehorse before?
Come along and make a new friend, in our gentle resident racehorse. You can learn all about these equine powerhouses and what it takes for them to be in peak physical form.
A vet will be on hand to answer questions throughout the day and provide an insight into racehorse wellfare.
We are proud to announce our partnership with WellChild at our Family Raceday Fixture.
On family Race Day, 2019, over £14,500 was raised for WellChild, thanks to our racegoers - which ourselves and the charity are extrememely grateful for.
WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children and their families. More than 100,000 children and young people are living across the UK with serious or exceptional health needs. Many spend months, even years in hospital simply because there is no support enabling them to leave. Meanwhile those who are at home face inconsistent and inadequate levels of support.
Through a nationwide network of childrens' nurses, home and garden projects, plus family support services, WellChild exists to give this growing population of children and young people the best possible chance to thrive - safe at home, together with their families.
With less than 2% of income coming from statutory sources, WellChild is wholly reliant on the support of individuals and organisations. To make a donation, visit wellchild.org.uk/donate.

Racecards are the official programmes for your race day at Goodwood. They give you the form of the day's runners and riders, as well as information on how you can make the most of your day, including eating and drinking, entertainment and live music.
Goodwood is stylish, but not-stuffy when it comes to raceday attire. We encourage our guests to dress comfortably, whilst chanelling their inner fashionista.
That being said, there is a dress code for each enclosure that we ask our guests to adhere to, when visiting the Racecourse.
In conjunction with Stagecoach buses, we provide a complimentary return bus service that runs from Chichester Railway Station to the Racecourse throughout the day. Services start from 10.15am.
Goodwood Racecourse is committed to providing excellent facilities so that all our guests can enjoy their day at the races to the full, whatever their requirements. For all of our accessibility information take a look at our accessibility page.
