We offer convenient camping options which are only a stone’s throw away from the Festival of Speed event. Located in the surrounding fields, you can choose a pitch with or without electric hook up and all pitches are 9 x 7 metres. Please note that all camping pitches will sell out in advance of the event, so booking is essential.

Family camping
In 2014 we opened our exclusive ‘family campsite’. Up to 60 families can book a 9m x 7m plot, with electric hook-up, family-friendly toilets, baby change, and shower facilities.

The campsite is located in the Lennox enclosure at Goodwood Racecourse, a stone’s throw from the main event, with beautiful scenic views across the South Downs, a children’s play area and onsite catering.

Should you have any concerns, please see the Campsite Manager. Alternatively, please call the Ticket Office (open during the event between 0700hrs and 1800hrs) on 01243 755055.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the 24hrs provision of electricity to electric camping plots to supply medical equipment, such as respirators.   

As the Festival is an open air event held primarily in parkland, flat comfortable shoes and casual clothing is best. Always bring some light wet weather clothing as, even in summer, the British weather can be unpredictable! If you will be using our corporate hospitality pavilions, then smart casual dress is required.

0630hrs – car parks open (free of charge)
0700hrs – gates open, providing a great opportunity to look around the paddocks before the action begins

1830hrs – bars close
1900hrs – event ends

The safety and security of everyone at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is of paramount importance to us. We work continually with Sussex police and other relevant authorities to reduce risk, taking action to put additional measures in place where needed. Although the national threat level has been raised for sometime, there is no known specific threat to our events to cause public concern. Although it’s important to be alert and notify staff of anything suspicious, we urge you not to be alarmed.

There will be more extensive dog and bag search procedures for everyone at entrances and you will notice a stronger uniformed police presence throughout the site and the vicinity.

With increased security, access may take longer. Please be prepared for this and allow sufficient time and also bear in mind that if you exit at any stage, you will need to pass through security to re-enter.

You can help the security process by not bringing unnecessary bags, and having your bags ready to be searched as you approach the gates. For any bags you do bring in, please keep them with you at all times, or use our locker facility near Gate 1. We ask for your understanding, patience and cooperation with us and that you also inform your guests and party members of this update.

We also ask for your vigilance on matters of security. If you see or hear anything suspicious, please bring it immediately to the attention of the Police or our Stewards.

Drones
For everyone's safety, members of public are not allowed to fly drones at or over the Festival of Speed. Goodwood occasionally operates drones for offical use; these will remain clear of the public at all times.

Prohibited items
Prohibited items include sharp objects and knives (other than sensible picnic cutlery), excessive alcohol (alcohol for personal consumption with a picnic is acceptable at stewards' discretion), drugs, legal highs, any animals (except guide/assistance dogs) and drones.

You can bring your own picnic into the Festival of Speed site and a reasonable amount of alcohol for sensible personal consumption only. Stewards reserve the right to refuse entry with what is considered excessive alcohol. Alcohol is not allowed in any of the Enclosures or Paddocks.

Goodwood restaurants - the Bar & Grill and Farmer, Butcher, Chef - are both located at the Goodwood Hotel which is just outside the event and easily accessible. Please note that these are pre-bookable only. We also have restaurants which are located in the main event site - Lamborghini Ristoronte 1963 and Porsche Cafe Le Mans, there is no need to pre-book at these restaurants.

There are catering stands throughout the site, with everything from sandwiches, burgers and pasties, to street food and delicate baked goods.

At all our events we have gluten free and vegetarian offerings - all dietary/allergen information is available at every outlet on request.

All of our caterers selling teas and coffees will offer dairy free milk as an alternative.

If you lose a person from your party, please report to the nearest Information point or to a member of Goodwood staff and then return to the last place you were together. Ideally the staff member will escort you but under no circumstances leave the staff member until you have given us your contact details.

Often, people in the heat of the moment, report an incident and then disappear, making it impossible to find them again. Most people do tend to return to the last place you saw them, so try not to stray too far from that point. If you have children or vulnerable people in your group, you are strongly encouraged to take a photo of them on a mobile device as you enter the event. That way, you won't have to struggle to describe them accurately and what they are wearing.

Children under 12 years, or any members of your party that you feel it appropriate, should wear one of our wristbands that you are able to write your phone number on. These are pre-booked online (choose Tickets Only and then select Children 12 & Under) or by calling Ticket Office on +44 (0)1243 755055.

If you have any questions whilst you're at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, please visit our Information Centres, located around the event. Information staff can also be found roaming the site and indeed the car parks.
