      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.
      Alexander Armstrong, Actor
      Qatar Goodwood Festival
      There are some amazing racecourses around the world, but without fail you feel like you’re in one of the most special.
