Itinerary
A Race Day Like No Other
Morning: The Vintage Departure
Your day starts at London Victoria, where the umber and cream carriages of the British Pullman await. As you are shown to your plush armchair by your steward, the atmosphere is electric with the anticipation of the races. Enjoy a sparkling Bellini followed by a three-course brunch as the train glides through the South Downs toward Chichester.
Midday: The Revival Experience
Upon arrival at Chichester Station, a private coach whisks you to the Goodwood Motor Circuit. With your Roving Grandstand Pass in hand, you have access to seven different grandstands, offering prime views of the high-octane historic racing. Spend your afternoon exploring the paddocks, watching the historic flyovers, and soaking up the “Over the Road” festivities.
Evening: The Winner’s Circle Return
As the final race ends, return to the train for a Champagne reception. Reflect on the day’s highlights as you are served a sumptuous three-course dinner with wine, prepared fresh on board. The journey back to London is a relaxed affair, filled with coffee, petit fours, and the shared stories of a legendary day at the track.
