Make your own way to Worthing on England’s south coast, where your hotel awaits. The adventure begins with a relaxed welcome gathering over drinks and canapés – the perfect setting to meet your fellow travellers. In true countryside style, you’ll then try your hand at clay pigeon shooting, a quintessentially English sport. The evening rounds off with a refined gourmet dinner, setting the tone for the days ahead.
After breakfast, a short scenic drive through the rolling English countryside brings you to the iconic Goodwood Circuit. From the very first moment, you’ll feel the buzz: period dress, the growl of engines, the unmistakable festival atmosphere. Start your day “Over the Road” browsing vintage stalls, memorabilia and the famed Bonhams auction. Step across to the paddocks and you’re in the thick of it – classic race cars, legendary drivers and history at your fingertips. When it’s time for a break, retreat to the GRRC Members’ Gordon’s Pavilion, with Chesterfield armchairs, a glass of wine or afternoon tea, and exclusive grandstand seats on the start/finish line. Lunch is another highlight: you’ll be chauffeured in a historic Land Rover, Willys Jeep or even a Rolls-Royce to the Goodwood Hotel for regional delicacies, before returning for an afternoon of wheel-to-wheel racing. By evening, you’re back in Worthing to unwind with a stroll along the seafront.
Another day, another dive into the magic of Goodwood. Explore vintage fashion arcades, dance to Rock’n’Roll at Tikki Beach, or marvel at the legendary RAF Spitfires lined up in all their glory. With a bit of luck, you might even chat with one of the pilots – stories that bring goosebumps guaranteed. From your exclusive lounge you’ll again have the best view of the action as historic machines battle it out on track. Then comes a highlight that few will ever forget: your helicopter flight over the festival, giving you a bird’s-eye view of this one-of-a-kind spectacle. Whether you prefer browsing the vintage stalls, joining the “Best Dressed Guest” contest or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this day is yours to enjoy. Evening transfer returns you to Worthing for a relaxed close to the day.
After three exhilarating days, your final morning begins at a slower pace: a lie-in, a leisurely breakfast and perhaps one last stroll along Worthing’s promenade. Around midday, the group transfer takes you comfortably to London Heathrow for your flight home. Alternatively, extend your journey and head into London to discover the capital at your own rhythm.

Goodwood Revival is the Ascot of historic motorsport. Every September, 140,000 people make the pilgrimage to the south of England to drink champagne in vintage outfits and experience old warhorses and their racing cars that have made motorsport history. Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Jim Clark and Graham Hill fought fierce duels on the Goodwood Motor Circuit right into the 1960s. At the end of 1966, international motorsport at Goodwood came to an end. In 1998, Lord March had the race track restored and started the revival as a classic race for sports cars built up to 1966.
In 14 different racing classes, former drivers compete for victory against ambitious or well-heeled private drivers or those who are both. On this stage, more than three dozen racers of international renown, ranging from Formula 1 world champions and Grand Prix winners to Le Mans winners and winners in endurance and touring car series face the challenge. The "Lavant Cup" and the "Lord March Trophy" are the most prestigious of the racing classes, so victory in these categories is particularly coveted.
The Goodwood Revival is a gigantic stage where visitors are not just spectators, but also participants. Here you can truly travel back in time to the beginnings and heyday of the automobile. The style, clothing, hairstyles and hats of the spectators make up a large part of this flair and harmonize perfectly with the historic vehicles, motorcycles and aircraft. If you want to be professionally dressed, have a real vintage hairstyle or take part in a tailoring workshop, you can do all this during the festival. Bands play music from different eras and invite you to dance in style. For all vintage lovers, a stroll through the High Street is the order of the day, where you can find vintage flavors to your heart's content, be it clothes, automobilia or devotional objects. An open-air cinema near the route shows classic films such as "Grease", while valuable vintage cars go under the hammer at the elegant Bonhams auction house. There are also some rides from the turn of the century that are still powered by steam. Stores and food stalls with a historic look resemble a movie set and take us on a Nostalgic journey back to a bygone era. For those who want more information, there is a smart guide for visiting the Revival available for download here.
