Glorious Goodwood has been a highlight of the British horseracing season and summer social calendar since the 19th century. The world-famous fiveday festival offers spellbinding sport and a social occasion like no other, with unrivalled style, thrilling racing and hospitality to savour. This is the week when some of the greatest stars in racing are crowned. Featuring 13 valuable group races across the week, the action gets under way on day one, with the historic Goodwood Cup. Staying-superstar Stradivarius will aim to rewrite history with a fifth win in the race. On Wednesday, the best milers go head-to-head in the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes – a race that's been the making of many an epic Duel on the Downs. Off the track, the ever-popular Earl’s Lawn is the hub of race-day entertainment. Named fittingly after the Earl of Lonsdale – a frequent racegoer in the 1800s who was known for his love of partying – the Earl’s Lawn, with live music and delicious street food, is the perfect place to socialise. goodwood.com/horseracing/qatar-goodwood-festival.

September 16–18 Goodwood Revival

Goodwood Revival is an immersive celebration of vintage lifestyle. Each year, as we re-create the glamour and excitement that suffused the glory days of motor racing at Goodwood from 1948 to 1966, we revisit a time when throwaway culture didn’t exist, people would make do and mend, and belongings were cherished and made to last. In 2022, the Revive and Thrive Village will embrace those strikingly relevant values, while leaving the more regressive views of the era consigned to the past, reflecting the diverse and inclusive spirit of the modern-day vintage world in a joyous celebration. Within this vibrant lifestyle hub, visitors will be able to adopt the skills of their forefathers to prolong the lives of their most prized possessions. A community of experts and influencers will share tips on authentic circular consumption, from re-upholstering a chaise or repairing a vintage sweater to bringing an old bicycle back to life. Sewing workshops will be available to book in advance and a schedule of dynamic talks, led by US jazz musician and style activist Dandy Wellington, will celebrate the enduringly fabulous stories told by second-hand treasures and the people who love them. Tickets are now limited, book at goodwood.com/revival.

Perhaps we’re going through a second Gin Craze now. There are 820 gin distilleries in the UK, according to the Office for National Statistics, up from 190 in 2015. Gin is officially the nation’s favourite spirit. It is also, perhaps, the one with the most creative potential – as long as it is made with a neutral grain spirit and juniper berries, distillers can add any botanicals they wish. When it comes to artisanal gin, they are particularly adventurous, experimenting with ingredients including brussels sprouts, beef, asparagus and elephant dung. Some may be an acquired taste, but by and large that kind of freedom means there’s a gin for every occasion. Goodwood’s new Levin Down Gin – named after an ancient hill on the Estate, abundant with natural English juniper, where the Charlton Hunt used to start – is a more traditional offering, with wild gorse flower lending a tantalising hint of warm toasted coconut and vanilla to forward notes of zesty citrus and juniper. Served with a splash of vermouth and a couple of olives, it makes the perfect aperitif. The question is, shaken or stirred?
