The now globally famous Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. As the Revival is (as its name suggests) a trip back to the golden age of motorsport in the 1940-1960’s.

The event itself is a true time travelling experience as everything you can see, smell, eat and watch is from 1950. The marshals are dressed in white, the fire trucks are ancient – even down to having straw bales for safety on the track! There is a constant air display of Spitfires, Lancaster bombers, P51 Mustangs, Biplanes . You can only buy 1950’s food like hot dogs and hamburgers, no chicken tikka! – it goes on and on and on.
