Experience world-class Group racing across all five days and take your visit to the next level with Eventmasters horse racing hospitality packages, ensuring your trip to “Glorious Goodwood” is unforgettable from start to finish.
The opening day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival signals the beginning of one of the most glamorous sporting and social events of the summer, with the Qatar Vintage Stakes and Qatar Lennox Stakes taking centre stage on Goodwood Cup Day.
Day two of Glorious Goodwood shines a spotlight on one of the world’s most thrilling races – The Sussex Stakes. This Group One spectacle carries a £1 million prize pot, making it one of the UK’s most lucrative contests.
The Qatar Sussex Stakes stands as the pinnacle of the festival, a race where legends are made and history is written. Past champions include Frankel, who conquered the race in both 2011 and 2012. Run over a mile, the event is famed for its intense head-to-head battles, earning the nickname ‘The Duel on the Downs.’
The third day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival is Ladies Day. Glorious Goodwood Ladies Day is one of the highlights of the horse racing season, and women truly take centre stage. The feature race of the day is the Magnolia Cup. For over ten years, the race continues to support women by raising funds for female-focused charities.
The fourth day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival features one of the most exhilarating races of the entire flat season – The Qatar King George Stakes.
Ran at an electric pace over five furlongs, it features some of the finest sprinters from Britain and beyond. With horses and riders reaching speeds of up to 40mph as they flash past the Glorious Goodwood crowds – this is a real ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ event.
The final day of Glorious Goodwood is highlighted by two of the biggest races of the summer. Firstly the Group One Nassau Stakes, which attracts the very best fillies and mares to compete on the Sussex Downs for a prize fund of £600,000.
Another highlight race is the Qatar Stewards Cup, with previous winners including Frankel, Solow, Mohaather, and most recently Two Tribes in 2025.
If you’re looking to entertain the racing fans among your clients and guests in an intimate setting at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, our Private Sussex Box and Private Ring & Course hospitality packages are the perfect options for you, with access to stunning views from a private balcony and fine dining experiences.
Those looking for a more informal entertainment setting might want to consider the Secret Garden hospitality package, which offers guests and clients an inclusive bar and three-course lunch.
