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.
