Celebrations at Goodwood

C E L E B R AT I O N S AT G O O D W O O D At Goodwood we have been eating, drinking, partying and celebrating with family, friends and their guests for more than 300 years. From the Regency splendour of Goodwood House to the rolling countryside of the Estate, Goodwood provides a magnificent setting for any great celebration.

Cradled in the foothills of the South Downs, Goodwood will take your breath away; a world-famous sporting Estate set in gorgeous countryside and with historic buildings from which we can look after almost any size of party, whatever the occasion.

Just an hour and a half’s drive from London, you’ll feel a world away.

THE GOODWOOD H OT E L We like to think our Hotel combines the best of both worlds: old-world charm and 21st Century comfort.

At the heart of the property is an 18th Century former coaching inn, whilst newer rooms look out across the kitchen garden to the dovecote and orchard.

Of course, hospitality is at the heart of what we do: our two restaurants – The Richmond Arms and the Goodwood Bar & Grill – make the most of local and seasonal produce, much of it organic and sourced from our very own Home Farm. If you can tear yourself away, there’s a swimming pool and tennis courts, as well as a gym and spa, not to mention our two golf courses.

T H E C E DA R S U I T E This light and spacious room at The Goodwood Hotel is perfect for larger celebrations. Our reputation for excellence and attention to detail extends from menu planning and great, personal service to table flowers and place settings. With views out to our lovely kitchen garden, dovecote and orchard, the Cedar Suite provides a focal point for the day or night’s entertainment.

RO O M S A N D S U I T E S The beautifully designed Goodwood Hotel offers 91 contemporary and spacious suites and bedrooms.

Crisp white linen meets the muted palettes of calm interiors and walnut furnishings in charming rooms, perfect for relaxing after an exciting day.

THE KENNELS Now the splendid club house for Goodwood’s Members, the Grade I listed Kennels are a magnificent setting for show-stopping celebrations, whatever the occasion.

The classically inspired flint and brick building, designed

by James Wyatt in 1787, now combines the grandeur of Goodwood’s heritage with comfortable modern touches which ensure that Members and guests alike are looked after to the highest standards. The elegance of the private Music Room lends itself perfectly to small gatherings for dinners with a true sense of occasion, whilst on sunny days the outdoor terrace, with its views across the Duchess Paddock to Goodwood House, can host spectacular cocktail parties.

THE RACECOURSE We think the name says it all: ‘Glorious Goodwood’.

This highlight in the English summer season attracts visitors from around the world, drawn not only by the Sport of Kings but by the opportunity to dress up, socialise and enjoy what has been said by many people to be the most beautiful racecourse in the world.

Set high on the South Downs, with views that stretch across the Estate and as far as the Isle of Wight, the Racecourse makes a great place to celebrate and can accommodate groups of almost any size.

T H E E S TAT E You might think of the Goodwood Estate as the biggest, most glamorous, grown-up adventure playground in the world. Where else, after all, will you find a world-famous Racecourse; a Motor Circuit where you can get behind the wheel of a racing car and an Aerodrome from which you can enjoy a private flying lesson. You may fancy a round on one of Goodwood’s two championship golf courses, a game of tennis, a dip in the pool or a pampering massage at The Waterbeach spa. History, heritage, design and detail combine to provide a unique setting in which to celebrate the very best, whatever the occasion.

GOODWOOD HOUSE At the heart of the Estate lies Goodwood House, ancestral seat of the Dukes of Richmond for more than 300 years and still very much the family home.

Over the centuries, the House has played host to an extraordinary list of guests, from royalty to rock stars, and to this day it provides a truly exceptional setting in which to celebrate in style.

S TAT E A PA RT M E N T S The magnificent State Apartments retain their original Regency splendour, with huge chandeliers and fabulous works of art, including paintings by Stubbs, Van Dycke and Canaletto. According to the occasion and the number of guests, almost any combination of rooms can be used to bring your dreams to life.

And it’s not just the ‘wow’ factor you and your guests will remember; we pay attention to every single detail and have a team of planners, butlers and chefs to ensure your celebration runs like clockwork.
