Must-see Goodwood Revival highlights
Kick off with this iconic parade
Every year, Goodwood Revival celebrates an eclectic, historical group of vehicles in its opening parade. This year, taking centre stage is the iconic Volkswagen Type 2 Split Screen, colloquially associated with the counter-culture of the 60s, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2025.
Each morning, watch as a rainbow collection of VW vans parade around the circuit – the best way to kick off your day.
Go luxe with the Goodwood Mess
Choosing one of the hospitality packages is the best way to upgrade your Revival experience, and in The Mess, you’ll be able to enjoy everything the event has to offer in style.
Whether you’d like to enjoy the prime trackside views of wheel-to-wheel racing with a glass of champagne, relax at your designated table for the day with an afternoon tea buffet, or use your exclusive paddock pass to get up close and personal with the automotive stars of the show, you can do it all with the Goodwood Mess.
Tickets start at £738.
Embrace vintage fashion
Goodwood Revival is not just about all things automotive – it’s a celebration of all things vintage, including fashion. Visitors embrace the style of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s, and there’s even the chance you’ll be scouted for the Best-Dressed Competition.
Head to the Revival Style Village for talks from experts and icons alike and workshops where you can discover heritage crafts and makers. You can also pick up some pieces at the event as you explore the best in vintage and second-hand.
Set up camp in The Barracks
Another premium hospitality offering, this brilliant infield base is perfect for exploring the event.
The Barracks offers a fun, friendly and authentic Revival experience, with hosts on hand to help you plan your day, ensuring you don’t miss a thing. Head out into the event, take in the action and return for brunch and afternoon cakes, served in a typical barracks buffet style.
Your ticket to The Barracks includes early event access, a buffet brunch, a private garden area with a vantage of the Lavant Straight, Woodcote Corner, and lots more. Tickets start from £342.
Witness thrilling wheel-to-wheel action
Every day is filled with on-track excitement, but if you want to witness the climax of the weekend’s racing action, Sunday is the day you need to be at Goodwood Revival. It’s the perfect day to attend if you want to catch every second of thrilling on-track action, as all competitors race to victory in 16 nail-biting races.
Watch E-Type Jaguars, vintage Ferraris, and Ford GT40s competing against each other and 500cc monster motorcycles of the ’60s. A highlight is The Glover Trophy, which sees Formula 1 Grand Prix cars from the ’60s go head-to-head once again. Previous winners of this prestigious event include Stirling Moss, John Surtees and Graham Hill.
Attend with the whole family
Goodwood Revival makes for the ultimate family day out, as those aged under 13 can go completely free, and there are half-price tickets for anyone between the ages of 13 and 21.
As well as adrenaline-enhancing racing and delicious food and drink, there’ll be a range of immersive experiences for the whole family to enjoy – from air displays to live music and dancing.
Not to mention, keep an eye out for the Settrington Cup, where your child can cheer on their peers as they compete in Austin J40 pedal cars in two races across the weekend.
Enjoy this classic car collection
This year, Revival is honouring one of the most iconic car brands – Alfa Romeo. It will bring together a collection of cars from Alfa Romeo’s competitive history to celebrate the centenary of the marque’s victory in the inaugural Manufacturer’s World Championship.
Taking place across the weekend, the demonstration will feature Grand Prix cars, sports cars, touring cars and prototypes, including the machines that became renowned for competing at races.
This is set to be a must-see display, especially for any big motorsport fans, so why not secure yourself some grandstand passes to make sure you can see it from one of the best vantage points around the circuit?
