TITLE IN G O O DWO O D R AC E C O U R S E THE BUSINESS CLUB

GOODWOOD RACECOUR S E Part of the unique appeal of Goodwood Racecourse is its incredible setting. High in the Sussex Downs, Goodwood is renowned as being one of the most beautiful racecourses in the United Kingdom. It forms a key part of the magnificent 12,000-acre Goodwood Estate; situated just outside Chichester with stunning views out to sea and as far as the Isle of Wight.

The looped course hosts around 130 flat races each season: including two highly-regarded Group 1 races – the Sussex Stakes and Nassau Stakes, six Group 2s and eight Group 3s annually. As top racing pundit John McCririck puts it, “If you ever come racing, there is no better place than Goodwood.”

Goodwood is steeped in racing history and manages to be relaxed, yet incredibly stylish. Glorious Goodwood is the jewel in its crown, renowned for being one of the most famous and chic race meetings in the world.

THE BUSINESS CLUB The Business Club is a brand new concept from Goodwood Racecourse designed to enable businesses unrivalled networking and entertaining opportunities in a world-class environment, yet at a competitive rate.
