The History of Goodwood
The story of Goodwood began in 1616, when construction started on Goodwood House before it was purchased by the 1st Duke of Richmond in 1697.
Horse racing arrived just over a century later when the 3rd Duke of Richmond staged a private meeting for local army officers in 1801. The first public race meeting followed in 1802, establishing Goodwood as one of Britain’s oldest and most prestigious racecourses.
Many of the festival’s famous races have become cornerstones of the British flat racing calendar. The Goodwood Cup was first staged in 1808, followed by the Nassau Stakes and Stewards’ Cup in 1840, before the Sussex Stakes made its debut in 1841.
The racecourse continued to evolve throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, with new grandstands and facilities helping transform Goodwood into one of Britain’s premier sporting venues while preserving its unique character and spectacular setting.
Today, the estate is home to three internationally renowned events each year: the Qatar Goodwood Festival, the Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival.
