Goodwood — The Federation on the ground

Goodwood Estate, ninety minutes from London, hosts the world's three most consequential motoring events: the Festival of Speed (July), the Revival (September) and the Members' Meeting (April). The estate, owned by the Dukes of Richmond since 1697, also includes Goodwood Racecourse (Glorious Goodwood, August), an aerodrome, a 4,500-seat motor circuit, two golf courses and the Kennels — a private members' clubhouse hosting the family's racing parties. Helicopter transfer from Battersea is the discreet option for one-day attendance.
