We offer convenient camping options which are only a stone's throw away from the Revival 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. For more information, please click here.

Camping opens from 0900hrs on Wednesday. The Campsite Office is located near the main entrance to your campsite and is manned 24 hours a day from 12 noon on Thursday until 1200hrs on the Monday. Check-in is between 0700hrs and 2200hrs (0900hrs and 2200hrs on Wednesday), otherwise we will not be able to put you in a pitch until the following day.

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

Although not compulsory, the vast majority of Revival visitors dress in period style with many going to great lengths to achieve that authentic look. The resulting step-back-in-time spectacle plays a key role in making the Revival such a unique event.

While you're not required to dress up (unless you qualify for central Paddock access, in which case a jacket and tie is necessary for gentlemen, and a dress or suit for the ladies), you'll feel much more involved if you do. And whether you go for the slick urban look, gentrified country style or chocs-away military aesthetic, it's not difficult or costly to dress appropriately.

Revival is a celebration of style, creativity and community, and we want everyone to feel welcome and respected. Please do not wear controversial uniforms or clothing, costumes or accessories that appropriate another culture. Goodwood reserves the right to refuse entry or ask visitors to leave the event if their attire is considered inappropriate or offensive. 

For the safety and security of all guests, replica weapons are strictly prohibited anywhere on site. Bag searches will be conducted at all entrances. Replica weapons are permitted only when used by authorised re-enactment groups as part of official event activities.

What to wear

Gates to the main site open to the general public at 0830hrs, and open to GRRC Members and Fellows at 0730hrs. Over the Road will open to all from 0730hrs.

GRRC Members and Fellows must show their current lapel badge as well as their entry tickets to gain entrance from 0730hrs each morning.

The action on the circuit commences at 0845hrs on each day of the event.

Car parks are free and open at 0700hrs.

While the main site closes around 1900hrs, bars and many other areas Over the Road stay open until 2200hrs on Friday and Saturday, and 2100hrs on Sunday. Last orders will be called approximately 30 minutes before closing time.

Keeping you safe

Please note that bag searches will be in operation at the entry gates to ensure public safety. Our teams will be on site to answer any security queries and can provide assistance. If you'd like to report anything suspicious, please speak to the nearest member of staff. Supporting us at the event are Sussex Police.

The safety and security of everyone at the Goodwood Revival 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, 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 procedures for everyone at entrances, and you will notice a stronger uniformed police presence throughout the site and the vicinity.

With increased security and bag searches taking place, 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. 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 Revival. Goodwood occasionally operates drones for official 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.

For the safety and security of all guests, replica weapons are strictly prohibited anywhere on site. Bag searches will be conducted at all entrances. Replica weapons are permitted only when used by authorised re-enactment groups as part of official event activities.

You’re very welcome to bring your own picnic to Goodwood Revival. A moderate amount of alcohol is also permitted as part of your picnic, with up to one (750ml) bottle of wine or champagne, or up to four beers to share between two guests.

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 wristbands can be collected on-event at the arrival gates. 

• Leaf printing
• Natural paints
• Wood cookies
• Bird feeders 
• (Activities may vary depending on resources and the weather)
