Goodwood Revival
September 17th
Runs from 17th - 19th September.
For those that love the romance of the fifties and sixties, this event is a must. The Goodwood Revival is the world’s most popular historic car race meeting, recreating the golden era of motor sport.
You will feel like you have stepped back in time as you watch classic cars thundering round the track, often driven by famous motoring stars of the past and the present. Sir Stirling Moss, David Coulthard, Damon Hill and the late Barry Sheene have all taken part in the Revival.

But what gives this car racing gathering its special charm is the effort taken to ensure that everything on site is as it would have been in the glory days of the Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Spectators turn up in their thousands in full retro gear: women wear 1950s-style full skirts with twin-sets and pearls while the men try to look like the Fonz. No modern cars are allowed within the circuit perimeter and even the food stalls and bars look like they are part of a film set. It’s an enchanting recreation of the theatre of motor racing as it used to be.

Make sure you get an invite to the Revival Ball on the Saturday night – always fun, fancy dress and very exclusive.
