Live music meets sensational style with a plethora of equine superstars, all looking to be crowned on the world stage, as well as the return of the inspirational Markel Magnolia Cup.
Featuring no less than 13 Group races, including the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, the Qatar Sussex Stakes, often referred to as the ‘Duel on the Downs’, and the cavalry charge that is the Coral Stewards’ Cup, it’s the place to be seen.

What’s more, when booking as a group of ten or more people in the Gordon Enclosure at the flagship Qatar Goodwood Festival. prices start from just £36.80 per person. Live music on the Earl’s Lawn, access to parade ring viewing and a phenomenal range of places to eat and drink make this the social hub for a glorious day of racing.
“For those that wish to beat the crowds and weather, booking one of our fantastic shared bars is the way forward. Accompanied by a casual food offering, the Sussex Lounge for example, during May Festival is just £57 and incorporates the most spectacular racing views. Much like last season a complimentary return bus service will be operating from surrounding towns which adds access and ease to a premium day out.”
