If you have even a passing interest in cars you should dash to experience Goodwood’s Festival of Speed at least once. Set in the magnificent parkland surroundings of Goodwood House, the event attracts unique cars and legendary drivers from all over the world. Expect to see Formula One teams, alongside cars from the great old days of motor racing and 19th century steam carriages. 

Away from the bustle of competition, you can relax with a picnic on the lawns of the House among some of the most beautiful and innovative automotive creations. Or you might prefer an adrenaline rush from the driving simulators and 4x4 driving. And you can add to the spectacle, as most visitors do, by dressing up in 1950s and 1960s style.
