Goodwood RevivalWhere to stay for the Goodwood Revival 2027

What it is and when

The Revival is three days of historic motor racing at Goodwood Motor Circuit, with almost everyone there in period dress. Goodwood announced the 2027 dates on 18 September 2026: Friday 17 to Sunday 19 September. They are on Goodwood’s own site.

More than 150,000 people came across the three days in 2025, according to Country & Town House. Tickets are advance only. General sale for 2027 opened on 9 November 2026. For 2026, Saturday and three-day passes sold out and Friday and Sunday were limited, so do not leave it late.

Getting there from the farm and back

West Marden is about 20 minutes’ drive from Goodwood on a normal day. During the Revival the last two miles to the circuit are far slower. Leave early, allow much more than 20 minutes and follow the routes Goodwood sends out with the tickets.

Gate times vary by source and by year. Goodwood’s own Sunday programme has said the main site opens to the public at 8.30am, and at 7.30am for members. Check your ticket information for 2027. Coming back, there is free parking at the houses and the Victoria Inn is a very short walk away.

Why a house suits the Revival

Dressing for the Revival takes space and time. In a house you have bedrooms to lay everything out, a kitchen for breakfast before you set off and somewhere to sit down together when you get back. Each house has its own front door, kitchen and garden, and Keepers and The Old Stables have wood burners for a September evening.

Keepers, The Old Stables and Barley Cottage each sleep 4 in two bedrooms. Friends who go every year can take two or all three houses, up to 12 people. See whole-farm hire. The pool closes in early September, so it is shut by the Revival.

Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am. Arrive on Thursday afternoon and leave on Monday morning, and you have all three days without packing the car at dawn. The farm has been in the family since 1947 and runs to 1,000 acres, so it is quiet when you get back.

If you stay on

Mid-September is a good time on the Downs. Kingley Vale is at its best in autumn light, and the Octagon walks start from the village. Chichester is about 20 minutes away for a slower day after three days at the circuit.

There is horse racing at Goodwood on Wednesday 22 September, three days after the Revival ends. The full list of dates is on our Goodwood racing page.
