What's Included in your Christmas Stay
Your festive escape begins as you check into the hotel, ready to embrace the season at Goodwood.
As evening falls, you will be welcomed into the splendour of Goodwood House, where you'll be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine or mulled wine and a selection of festive canapés.
With the fire crackling and candlelight flickering, gather around the beautifully decorated tree in the Front Hall and join our choir for a heartwarming selection of carols—a timeless tradition to set the perfect festive tone.
For dinner, the Farmer, Butcher, Chef team invites you to sit down to a specially prepared menu showcasing the finest seasonal flavours and estate-reared produce. A true celebration of Goodwood’s farm-to-fork philosophy.
Wake up to a slow, peaceful Christmas morning. Whether you choose a leisurely swim in the pool, a stroll through the estate, or to simply relax with a coffee by the fire, this is your day to enjoy at your own pace.
Before lunch, enjoy a festive drinks reception before sitting down to a sumptuous four-course Christmas feast at Goodwood Bar & Grill, featuring classic favourites and seasonal delights.
For an extra touch of indulgence, upgrade to Farmer, Butcher, Chef for £30 per person.
As the afternoon fades, gather with fellow guests for a relaxed evening buffet, followed by a lighthearted festive quiz at Farmer, Butcher, Chef—the perfect way to round off a joyful Christmas celebration.
Boxing Day is all about unwinding at your own pace. Start with a hearty brunch at Farmer, Butcher, Chef, made with fresh, organic produce from the estate.
The day is yours to enjoy and indulge in a spa treatment, take a leisurely estate walk, or play a round of 18 holes on The Park course or The Copse, our short game and 9 hole course.
If you prefer to stay cosy, then settle in by the fire with a board game or lose yourself in a good book.
In the afternoon, delight in a quintessential Goodwood Afternoon Tea, featuring delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones and festive sweet treats— a perfect indulgence for a leisurely day.
After waking up from another restful night’s sleep, enjoy a final breakfast at Farmer, Butcher, Chef and maybe one last swim in the hotel pool, or one last round on the course before bidding farewell.
We spent three nights at the Goodwood Hotel over Christmas and can wholeheartedly recommend the inclusive package. It is incredibly good value. The hotel and food are excellent and the staff go out of their way to give guests a good time.
