Festival of Speed, usually end of June or early July
Revival, usually September
See calendar for dates
The Goodwood estate comprises the historic Goodwood House and estate, with a racecourse, park, hotel with health club, and an airfield surrounded by an active motor circuit.
The airfield, known during WWII as Westhampnett, was a busy satellite station to Tangmere and was the airfield from which Douglas Bader flew his last mission.
The airfield is situated between the south downs and The Solent, well clear of controlled airspace, and now provides flying lessons and a base for private aircraft as well as events with a flying element.
The two main flying days are both wings and wheels type events.
Goodwood Revival, usually in mid September, has a focus on F1, GT and saloon cars and motor cycles of the 50s and 60s, often driven by past champions, reviving the days when the Goodwood Motor Circuit was one of the primary circuits in the UK.
The air displays usually include a good range of historic aircraft and there are pre-1966 aircraft on static display.
Goodwood Festival Of Speed is usually in early July and allows a wider range of aircraft including modern types, again against the background of motor racing.
