The Ultimate Guide to Qatar Goodwood Festival 2025

Downs Hour – The Goodwood Ritual

Where chalk‑white rails lace rolling green,
And Panama hats tilt beneath midsummer sun—
Let Goodwood unfold at your pace,
In quiet luxury, carried in seamless style.

From the moment your car glides beyond London’s bustle and the South Downs crest on the horizon, the day begins to feel written in silk. Glorious Goodwood is not merely a race meeting; it is five days of sartorial theatre and sporting grace, poised between Regency house and Sussex sea.

The Ultimate Guide to Qatar Goodwood Festival 2025

History, Highlights & 2025 Essentials

First run in 1802 under the patronage of the Duke of Richmond, the Goodwood Festival—nicknamed Glorious Goodwood—is now one of Britain’s premier summer meetings. The 2025 edition spans Tuesday 29 July – Saturday 2 August at Goodwood Racecourse, Chichester, West Sussex.

Key races include:

  • Goodwood Cup (G1) – Tuesday: 2‑mile test of staying power.
  • Sussex Stakes (G1) – Wednesday: “Duel on the Downs” for milers.
  • Nassau Stakes (G1) – Thursday: fillies & mares classic.
  • King George Qatar Stakes (G2) – Friday: lightning‑fast 5‑furlong dash.
  • Stewards’ Cup (Heritage Hcp) – Saturday: cavalry charge to close the week.

Fun fact: Goodwood’s undulating track is one of few with a right‑handed horseshoe loop, offering sweeping views of the Solent.
