What’s more, when booking as a group of ten or more people in the Gordon Enclosure at the flagship Qatar Goodwood Festival. prices start from just £36.80 per person. Live music on the Earl’s Lawn, access to parade ring viewing and a phenomenal range of places to eat and drink make this the social hub for a glorious day of racing.

Accompanied by a casual food offering, the Sussex Lounge for example, during May Festival is just £57 and incorporates the most spectacular racing views. Much like last season a complimentary return bus service will be operating from surrounding towns which adds access and ease to a premium day out.”
