Hospitality at the Goodwood Revival

The Goodwood Revival presents motor racing as it used to be: a magical step back in time to when Goodwood was the social and spiritual home of British motor racing. The arrival of faster Formula One cars in 1966 meant that the circuit had to close, but 32 years later the Earl of March re-opened it and created the only sporting event in the world held entirely to a period theme. As Murray Walker put it: “Goodwood closes its gates on the modern world for three wonderful days”.

Once through the gates you enter a different era with thousands of visitors lost in a romantic tribute to Fifties and early Sixties style. Amazing flying displays celebrating Goodwood's past as a Battle of Britain airbase, combined with outstanding historic racing has prompted the international press to herald the Revival as “the best motor racing event in the world”.

The hospitality facilities are unique, in an environment that you will not experience anywhere else in the world. The Clark, Hawthorn and Brabham Pavilions are situated close to the action, adjacent to the assembly area and one minute away from the paddock. The atmosphere is inimitable. The SuperShell building is our top-of-the-range facility, located at Woodcote corner with unrivalled views from the windows and access to the adjacent Woodcote Grandstand. New for 2008 is the Salvadori pavilion located on the inside of the track by the chicane.

Guests are encouraged to dress in period clothing and enter into the spirit of the event. It is compulsory for gentlemen to wear jacket and tie in order to gain access into the paddock area.
