THE ANNUAL Qatar Goodwood Festival returns to Goodwood Racecourse next week.
Affectionately known as ‘Glorious Goodwood,’ this year’s festival runs from Tuesday, August 1, to Saturday, August 5.
The event is a perfect opportunity for families to get away for the day during the summer holidays, to enjoy an entertaining mix of top-quality horse racing, food and drink, music and a garden party atmosphere.
Children go free to all days of the event, making the Qatar Goodwood Festival good value for those with children under 18.
Guests of the Lennox Enclosure can bring their own picnics and make the most of the extensive lawns that run alongside the course, with views from the rails as the horses thunder past.
Those in the Gordon Enclosure can look forward to live music during and after racing, with a jazz band throughout each afternoon and the Willie Austen band performing after the last race on each day.
Complimentary strawberries and cream are another daily treat, and all enclosures have access to the children’s adventure playground.
Adult tickets can be purchased for each day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival from £23 in advance.
There is now limited availability in all enclosures for Ladies’ Day (August 3), Friday, August 4, and Saturday, August 5.
