A SENSE OF BELONGING For over three hundred years, Goodwood has simply been the place to be. In its early days, the 1st Duke of Richmond bought what we now know as Goodwood House as somewhere to stay when he, and his many illustrious friends, were hunting across his spectacular country estate. It was in the 1600s that Goodwood first earned its long-standing reputation for entertaining, for meticulous attention to detail, for looking after its guests and essentially for that something extra, that twist that made it and makes it to this day, somewhere that people wish to spend time. Nowadays, Goodwood has much more to offer; it is at the forefront of international sporting e v e nts in hor s e r a c ing and historic motor racing, as well as hosting PGA golf tournaments, operating one of Europe’s largest fully organic farms, organising memorable weddings and business events and welcoming guests to its newly refurbished 90 bedroom hotel; yet amongst the 21st century trappings of business and pleasure, all of that early glamour and excitement coupled with effortless style, still remains. Goodwood’s special atmosphere, exhilarating sporting occasions, consistently high standards, attention to detail and sense of fun, makes it a place for entertaining that we believe, is hard to surpass.

I’LL SAY IT’S GLORIOUS! Mention the word Goodwood and horseracing springs immediately to mind. Unsurprising, as the Goodwood Racecourse, set high on the Sussex Downs at the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty, has been at the forefront of British flat racing for over 200 years. Often described as ‘the most beautiful racecourse in the world’, the setting couldn’t be better for a day’s entertaining at this memorable and internationally renowned venue. With its s p e c t a c u l a r v i e w s t o t h e s o u t h a c r o s s C h i c h e s t e r p l a i n , d o w n t o t h e I s l e o f Wi g h t a n d t h e shimmering sea and to the north across breathtaking undulating countryside, Goodwood Racecourse is the perfect backdrop to host an entertaining day’s racing. Goodwood’s most famous race meeting is held in the last week of July when Sussex is at its most spectacular. Affectionately dubbed ‘Glorious Goodwood’ by the local newspaper a hundred years ago, it truly lives up to its name. A week-long festival of first class thoroughbreds battling it out for the honours and generous prize money, Glorious Goodwood attracts the world’s most c ompe titiv e a nd we ll-known jockeys, trainers and owners. Steeped in English tradition, yet carried out with Goodwood’s signature style, the occasion is replete with succulent strawberries, chilled Champagne, fine dining, picnics, fabulous hats and summer silks. There are plenty of opportunities to bring guests or business clients to Goodwood as there a r e a t o t a l o f 2 1 c o m p e t i t i v e r a c e d a y s e a c h s e a s o n f r o m M a y t o m i d O c t o b e r. T h o s e e a r l y meetings in May herald the welcome return of summer to this idyllic corner of England, the June evening meetings celebrate the lengthening high summer days and the chance to dine al fresco long into the evening. The mellow days of early October, invite guests to enjoy the last drops of the summer season in good company. Frequent visitor, Edward VII called it ‘a garden party with racing tacked on’ and he would still find it so today.

AND RELAX W he n a ll of the high octane and fast paced business of the day is done, there are many places in which to relax and restore the body and mind. The glittering jewel in the Goodwood crown is Goodwood House, home to the Richmond family for over 300 years. This magnificent building with its copper topped turrets and Sussex flint walls is the perfect place to host superb corporate dinners, product launches or media gatherings, as well as private weddings, civil partnerships, christenings and other special family celebrations. The impressive Goodwood Hotel is home to 90 comfortable and well designed bedrooms and is situated at the gateway to the Estate. Its superb leisure facilities include a state-of-the-art gym, indoor pool and spa, as well as floodlit tennis courts and a very comprehensive range of cosseting beauty and therapeutic treatments. The contemporary Bar & Grill serves healthy food throughout the day, whilst The Richmond Arms provides a more formal restaurant serving great food, often sourced from Goodwood’s own organic farm. More excellent cuisine is available at the beautiful restaurant at The Kennels, Goodwood’s s por ting me mbe r s ’ club. This Grade I listed building used to be home to the third Duke of Richmond’s celebrated hunting hounds. Today it features a relaxing drawing room, complete with open fires, a library adorned with contemporary art and there’s a sports bar showing all the latest sports action. The Kennels is the ideal destination after a round of golf on one of the two beautiful courses – The Downs or The Park. Two s tunning venues, the Vitra Café and the Jackie Stewart Pavilion provide trackside opportunities for private catering. Both offer the ideal venue for private or corporate track day groups to relax, eat and unwind in good company. From the splendour of Goodwood House, to the fuel-injected destinations at the motor circuit or aerodrome, there is a venue to suit different moods and occasions, with a dedicated team of event planners who are brimful of ideas and ready to help organise the perfect event.

GOODWOOD AERODROME & MOTOR CIRCUIT
Goodwood Ae r odr ome wa s built during the Second World War as an RAF satellite airfield to nearby Westhampnett. From here Hurricanes and Spitfires flew in the Battle of Britain. Douglas Bader took off from the grass runway on his last wartime sortie. In 1948 the 9th Duke of Richmond, a passionate and skilled racing driver, converted the perimeter road into a motor r a c ing c ir c uit. I t wa s a n ins ta nt s uccess and became integral to Britain’s post war racing heritage. Legends such as Sir Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorne, Jim Clark, Sir Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill did battle on the Goodwood tarmac. F o r safety reasons the circuit closed in 1966. Restored in perfect period style by the Duke’s grandson Lord March, the circuit re-opened in 1998. Today Goodwood hosts the annual Revival Meeting which has become the largest and most important historic motor racing event in the world. Guests experiencing the challenges of this historic circuit will be driving in the tyre tracks of the gods of motor racing!

THE DOWNS COURSE Golf’s five-times Open Champion, James Braid, designed The Downs Course in 1914, though it is no less challenging to play for today’s generation of big hitters. Braid’s trademark dog legs and cross-bunkering combine with nature’s dramatic changes in levels making the course as compelling as ever. This downland course has been sensitively renovated for today’s golfer, whilst conserving its heritage and tradition. The scale, grandeur and aesthetic quality have all been improved, enhancing the spectacular views across the Estate and be yond, towa r ds the S ole nt a nd the Isle of Wight. For a downland course, the variety of holes is unusually rich and is a superbly challenging 7104 yards.

T H E PA R K C O U R S E Wor ld- r e nowne d g olf c our s e a rchitect Donald Steel was commissioned to produce a design that would reflect the pr e s tig e of the stunning backdrop of Goodwood House and its 18th century cedars. The result is an easy-walking 6650 yards course that suits all levels of golfing ability but still provides the challenge that today’s golfers prefer. The tree-lined fairways that wind their way around Goodwood House are generally level but not ov e r- g e ne r ous a nd s hots to the small greens demand accuracy rather than brute force. Moreover, the calibre of the c our s e ha s be e n pr oved by the successful hosting of national and international tournaments.
