Goodwood Horse Racing – 2nd May - 11th October 2009
Goodwood Racecourse, set high on the Sussex Downs and just ten miles down the road, is arguably one of the most beautiful racecourses in the world. From May to October 2009 Goodwood will host twenty-three days of exhilarating flat racing.

Glorious Goodwood 28th July - 1st August 2009
At the five-day July Festival, affectionately known as Glorious Goodwood, all the elements of a great event collide; it’s the glamour of top class racing mixed with the outstanding beauty of the racecourse, and the famously stylish dress code that makes Glorious Goodwood unquestionably the chicest invitation of the summer’s social and racing calendar. www.goodwood.co.uk

Motor racing at Goodwood House and Park

Festival of Speed 3rd – 5th July 2009
For three days a year Goodwood hosts the world’s greatest car collection, where cars and drivers are gathered from all over the globe to participate in what the Daily Telegragh claim is ‘the greatest show on earth’. It is a spectacular celebration of the internal combustion engine in all its forms – from F1 to rally, from Nascar to MotoGP, - and boasts the largest collection of today’s Supercars to be seen at any motor show. The noise of high revving engines, the smell of burning rubber, and the high octane atmosphere surrounding the theatre on the track is what compels people of all ages to come back time and time again. www.goodwood.co.uk

Goodwood Revival – 18th-20th September 2009
The glamorous Goodwood Revival has become arguably the most successful historic motor racing meeting in the world and the only major sporting event to be set to a period theme. Set in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, this unique experience is pure theatre and a “magical step back in time”. www.goodwood.co.uk

Cowdray Park Polo - 25th April -20th September 2009
