At Goodwood we embrace quintessentially British style – whether that’s high fashion or something more classic, it’s about a relaxed yet chic look. We are known for a distinctive style - linen suits, Panama hats and chic dresses are de-rigeur.
Ever since King Edward VII relaxed the dress code in the 19th century, we have enjoyed a carefree holiday feel here, unlike any other racecourse.
Within the Richmond Enclosure:
Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket and tie. Boys aged 7-15 years are asked to wear a long sleeved collared shirt (no polo shirts).
Ladies, it's all about the garden party look. A floaty or floral dress, an elegant top and trouser/skirt combination that is suitable for England in summer. We recommend that you leave your stiletto heels at home, as the uneven ground can be tricky to walk on.
Every Owner or Partnership is entitled to six Owners’ Badges per runner and a Syndicate up to twelve badges (in exchange for a reduced number of complimentary lunches). In an effort to improve the experience of Owners and Trainers at the world-renowned Qatar Goodwood Festival, entry to the Parade Ring, Pre Parade Ring and Winners enclosure this year will only be permitted with a Parade Ring pass. This will ensure that the Parade Ring, Pre Parade Ring and Winners enclosure remains a comfortable and safe environment.
Trainers with runners on the day and Jockeys with a ride will be entitled to two Owners' badges each.
Parade Ring passes will be race-specific, although there will be day and week passes available where appropropriate for those with multiple runners.
Children under the age of 12 will not be permitted access into the parade ring, children between the ages of 12 to 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent.
