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.
In 2019, we also welcomed Chase and Skye from Paw Patrol, as well as the opportunity for our younger guests to meet a racehorse.
When the racing begins, catch our mini-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 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 extremely 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 children's 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.

I came here three years ago but once you’re bitten, you have to come back. It is always atmospheric here, it doesn’t matter what the weather conditions are, it is always a memorable day. Everything about Goodwood is done for love, it’s been crafted lovingly over centuries.
There are some amazing racecourses around the world, but without fail you feel like you’re in one of the most special.
It has been fantastic… this is another great Goodwood event, with a great atmosphere.
Goodwood. More like AmazeWood. Best night in a while. Thank you X
It goes without saying that Goodwood has always been a special place for me. The Qatar Goodwood Festival is a beautiful week and Goodwood is the most picturesque racecourse in the country.
