We take a look back at the 2019 season so far, celebrating all the great memories that Opening Saturday, May Festival, Family Race Day and the first Three Friday Night, presented by NOW TV have left us with...
JUN 13th 2019
Our 2019 season so far
Opening Saturday - Saturday 4 May
Our season began in spectacular fashion, with racegoers deprived of horseracing at Goodwood over the winter flocking to experience the thrill of a raceday once again.
May Festival, featuring the Goodwood Food Show - Thursday 23 - Saturday 25 May
Featuring cooking demonstrations and foodstalls alongside some excellent horseracing, racegoers were spoilt by the amount to see and do. Jane Devonshire, winner of MasterChef 2016, was on hand to demonstrate her culinary skills and the audience even got to sample a slice of the pie. Over in our food market tents, a variety of local produce was available to sample and take home, from brownies to cheese - there was something for everyone.
Three Friday Nights, presented by NOW TV - Friday 7 June
If you are yet to experience one of our Three Friday Night events, you are really missing out! On 7 June, MK took to the parade ring decks - an international DJ with tunes that have been the soundtrack of our summers. After an epic afternoon of horse racing, the parade ring is swiftly transformed into a dance floor like no other and racegoers-turned-partygoers dance the night away under a laser-lit sky.
Family Race Day - Sunday 9 June
Our Family Race Day provided thrills for children and adults alike. The squeals of delight as the little ones spotted their favourite PAW Patrol characters and as they rushed to the rail to watch the horses go by created a fun, light-hearted atmosphere. With opportunities to 'meet the racehorse,' ride traditional fairground rides and to experience what it is like to be a jockey on our equicizers, this was a day to remember. What's more, the event raised over £14,500 for our charity partner, WellChild.
Tickets for our remaining 2019 fixtures, including 'Glorious Goodwood' are available to buy now.
