Goodwood Revival
Goodwood Revival takes place Sep 18 - 20, 2026 in Goodwood, England. The dress code is Period dress across the whole site - 1940s to 1960s. Tweed, service uniforms, tea dresses, headscarves and correct shoes. Modern clothing is permitted but you will feel conspicuous all weekend. Typical cost ranges from 600 to 2000 EUR per person.
Three days of historic motor racing at Goodwood Motor Circuit, staged entirely in the spirit of the track's 1948 to 1966 heyday. Period dress applies to spectators, marshals and staff alike, the paddock runs pre-1966 machinery worth tens of millions, and aerial displays pass low over the Sussex Downs. The 2026 edition takes a La Dolce Vita Italian theme.

How to attend
Tickets are sold only through goodwood.com and are released the previous autumn, with the weekend days going well before the event. Single-day general admission runs roughly GBP 60 - 90, with grandstand seats and hospitality on top. It is fully public with no membership requirement, but Goodwood Road Racing Club members get priority booking, which is the reliable route if you intend to go every year.
Insider tip
Book the outfit before the ticket - Chichester has a whole ecosystem of vintage hire built around Revival weekend, and the good pieces are gone by midsummer.
