Live music meets sensational style with a plethora of equine superstars, all looking to be crowned on the world stage, as well as the return of the inspirational Markel Magnolia Cup.
Featuring no less than 13 Group races, including the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, the Qatar Sussex Stakes, often referred to as the ‘Duel on the Downs’, and the cavalry charge that is the Coral Stewards’ Cup, it’s the place to be seen. Off the track, Tuesday’s Lord Taverners Twenty20 cricket match and Friday’s much anticipated L’Ormarins Best Dressed competition showcase on a fabulous supporting card.

We’re very much looking forward to the 2023 season. We have locked in the same pricing as 2022 for Three Friday Nights and entry to the Lennox Enclosure across all fixtures. With the addition of complimentary themed entertainment on key race days, we firmly believe we are offering the best value day-out.
Jon Barnett Racecourse Director
Jon continued “General admission packages start from £25 in the Lennox Enclosure, where racegoers can enjoy entry, a meal and a drinks voucher. What’s more, when booking as a group of ten or more people in the Gordon Enclosure at the flagship Qatar Goodwood Festival. prices start from just £36.80 per person. Live music on the Earl’s Lawn, access to parade ring viewing and a phenomenal range of places to eat and drink make this the social hub for a glorious day of racing.
“For those that wish to beat the crowds and weather, booking one of our fantastic shared bars is the way forward. Accompanied by a casual food offering, the Sussex Lounge for example, during May Festival is just £57 and incorporates the most spectacular racing views. Much like last season a complimentary return bus service will be operating from surrounding towns which adds access and ease to a premium day out.”
