    Dress Code at Goodwood


    Goodwood lives and breathes
    quintessential English style.

    At Goodwood we want you to get the most from your day and encourage you to wear what makes you feel unique, but comfortable, whilst paying particular attention to what the day's weather has in store. Ladies can find fashion inspiration with The Goodwood Look.

    Richmond Enclosure

    Our most stylish and exclusive enclosure

    Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket accompanied by a tie, cravat or polo-neck sweater. Boys aged 7-15 years are kindly encouraged to wear a collared shirt.

    Ladies are encouraged to dress stylishly but with a relaxed feel. A floaty dress or an elegant top and trouser/skirt combination will suit any of our racedays. We do suggest that you leave your stiletto heels at home, as the uneven ground can be tricky to walk on.

    All: Jeans, trainers, shorts and fancy dress are not permitted.

    Gordon Enclosure

    Slightly less formal than the Richmond Enclosure

    Qatar Goodwood Festival: All gentlemen are encouraged to wear a jacket and tie and both ladies and gents are urged to dress to impress. T-shirts, sleeveless tops (for men), sports attire, trainers, shorts, ripped/torn jeans and fancy dress are not permitted. Tailored shorts are allowed.

    Racedays (non Qatar Goodwood Festival): We encourage all racegoers to dress smartly. Shorts, trainers and sportswear are all discouraged, fancy dress and sleeveless tops (for men) are not permitted.

    Lennox Enclosure

    Our most relaxed enclosure

    The Lennox Enclosure has no formal dress code, but many racegoers do still like to dress up, especially at the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

    Fancy dress and sleeveless tops (for men) are not permitted in any enclosure.

    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.
