1. World’s greatest historic racing
Witness hundreds of rare and priceless cars, driven by champions past and present, competing for the most coveted trophies in historic motorsport, including the St Mary’s Trophy, the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration and arguably the most competitive race of the event, the Settrington Cup children’s pedal car race.
The 2022 Goodwood Revival races will be announced soon.
2. Vintage fashion and second-hand style in abundance
The Revival is defined by its period dress code: tweeds and trilbies for men, furs and frocks for the ladies, and by its refusal to allow modern cars within the circuit on race days. The lengths our Revival community go to perfect their outfits are incredible and the stories behind the outfits are special and timeless. For those who need a little guidance, we’ve put together online guides to help you source second-hand pieces and period costumes. Watch out for the style police and ‘Best Dressed Competition’ judges as they’ll be on the lookout for authentic outfits across the weekend too.

3. New areas, new layout, new celebrations
2021 brought a number of exciting changes to the Goodwood Revival, including a variety of new immersive areas to explore throughout the three days. We tweaked the layout too, making it easier for guests to venture round the historic Motor Circuit. The ‘Make-Do and Mend’ corner was a celebration of craftsmanship and sustainability, from an age when possessions were made to last and be cherished. It showcased a host of restoration projects and, more importantly, how Revival guests could apply some of these methods in modern day life.
4. The most glamorous car boot sale you’ve ever been to
It's not just the Revival High Street that offers guests the chance to pick up the most unique memorabilia and interesting gifts. Launching in 2021, the Revival Car Boot Sale is a stylish hub for finding an eclectic mix of vintage clothing, accessories and motoring wares, topped off with a ‘best in show’ competition, judged in 2021 by our Revival Style Advisor, Bay Garnett.
