Goodwood Members’ MeetingWhere to stay for the Goodwood Members’ Meeting 2027

What it is and when

The Members’ Meeting opens Goodwood’s motorsport season at the Motor Circuit. The 2027 meeting is the 84th and runs on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 April. Goodwood has confirmed the dates on its own site.

There is no public sale. Tickets go to Goodwood Road Racing Club Members first and then to the wider Fellowship. That makes it the smallest crowd of Goodwood’s three motorsport events, after the Festival of Speed and the Revival. We have not found a published attendance figure.

Getting there from the farm and back

West Marden is about 20 minutes’ drive from Goodwood on a normal day. Any event day at Goodwood is slower over the last two miles, so give yourself extra time on both mornings. Goodwood sends travel details with the tickets.

There is free parking at the houses. If two cars are coming, leave one at the farm and go together.

Why a house in April

Early April at a motor circuit can be cold. Keepers and The Old Stables have wood burners, so you come back to a fire. Every house has its own kitchen, a proper table to eat at, its own front door and a garden.

Keepers, The Old Stables and Barley Cottage each sleep 4 in two bedrooms. Members who travel as a group can take two or all three houses, up to 12 people. The Victoria Inn is a very short walk from the farm for supper on Saturday night. Book a table, it’s busy.

Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am. With the three-night minimum, come on Friday afternoon and leave on Monday morning, or come on Thursday and have Friday for a walk. The Old Stables and Barley Cottage are each on one level. The farm has been in the family since 1947 and runs to 1,000 acres, and the houses are AA five-star rated.

The outdoor pool is not open in April. It opens in mid-June.

Making a longer stay of it

The meeting falls on the last weekend of the school Easter holidays in West Sussex and Hampshire, which run from 26 March to 11 April 2027. If the family is coming too, see Easter and spring and our family days out.

For a walk on the Friday or the Monday, the Octagon walks start from the village and Kingley Vale is close. Bluebells usually come later, from late April. Goodwood’s horse racing season opens on Friday 30 April. The dates are on our Goodwood racing page.

When to book

Members know these dates from the day they are announced, and the 84th has been public for months. If you have your tickets, or expect to, book the house now. There is a three-night minimum stay during Goodwood events. Book direct with no booking fees, and message us on WhatsApp if you want to ask anything first.
