Do I have to be a member to attend?
Yes, this is a GRRC members’ event. Members do not need to book, but must wear their current GRRC membership badge and display a current GRRC windscreen sticker to gain access. Guests are permitted to attend as long as they are accompanied by a member. Guests travelling in a member's car do not need separate passes.
Members may apply for up to two additional car passes per member (regardless of adult/family membership) for any guests who cannot travel with the member to the event. Guest car passes can be ordered by emailing grrc@goodwood.com.
This event is not open to the GRRC Fellowship, although they may of course attend as guests of a GRRC member.
Do I have to pay to attend?
The GRRC Annual Vehicle Display is free of charge to attend. Please note there is an additional cost for Goodwood House tours, which are payable on the day.

Can we visit Carne’s Seat and the Shell House?
We regret that neither Carne's Seat nor the Shell House are open to the GRRC or to the public. However, tours of the majestic Goodwood House will be available from 1230hrs.
