STAYING OVER

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 Centre 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.

The Goodwood family has been stewards of the land for centuries, working to preserve the estate and environment beyond. From reducing waste to off-setting carbon emissions, we are continually working to make our events greener:

 During Festival of Speed we:

• Encourage our visitors to use public transport or car share to get to the event, to help reduce car emissions and traffic in the local area.
• Offer ticket buyers the opportunity to make an optional donation when buying tickets, to offset individual carbon footprints. These donations will be used for tree planting and re-wilding projects.
• Are switching to bio-diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) from regular diesel for all of our generators over the next three years, reducing the generator carbon footprint by around 80-90%.
• Supply drinking water stations across the event and encourage visitors and staff to bring their own reusable bottles.
• From 2020, any bottled water on-site will be sold in 100% recycled plastic bottles.  We have chosen this route as it removes single-use plastic and the carbon footprint is far lower than switching to cans.
• Provide recycling bins for plastic bottles and cans around the event.
• Recycle glass and cardboard in all kitchen and bar areas.
• Are introducing reusable cups to remove single-use disposable plastic cups from our events.  You pay £1 deposit for your first drink, swap the cup with each drink, then claim your £1 back at any exchange point at the end of the day.  Or you can take it home and continue to use it!
• Offer a 20p discount on hot drinks if you supply your own cup.
• Ensure all food serve wear is compostable or paper-based.
• Plant thousands of trees each year and continue to improve the environment through numerous hedge laying and re-wilding projects.

We are very proud of the charities that we support over our events, last year we raised £50,000 for Dallaglio RugbyWorks. This year we are supporting St Paul’s Church, Chichester. St Paul’s is embarking upon a complete renovation and redecoration of both the church and the parish centre to improve accessibility and facilities for both the parish and wider community.

There are numerous cash machines located around the site. Exact locations can be found on the Goodwood Motorsport App or visitor guide. 

The Big Locker Hire Co. will be on site to provide a friendly and convenient storage locker service. Their lockers are perfect for storing coats, sweatshirts, day bags, large bags, handbags, picnics – or anything else you don’t want to carry around all day. Book a cloakroom locker and you get a wristband that allows you access to the supervised locker area whenever you like. Set your own PIN code on your locker and then come and go as often as you like.

There will be phone charging lockers available to hire near Gate 1.  Plug in your phone, lock the door, set your personal PIN and pop back later to collect your fully charged phone.
