Glorious Goodwood

Tuesday 29 July - Saturday 2 August 2008.
First race 14.00.
'Glorious Goodwood’ not only offers the very best in top-class racing, but is one of the highlights of the social summer season – famously described by King Edward VII as ‘a garden party with racing tacked on’

‘Glorious Goodwood’ and fashion go hand in hand. Ever since King Edward VII discarded formal morning dress in favour of a linen suit and Panama hat in 1906, ‘Glorious Goodwood’ has become the home of quintessential English summer fashion. Linen suits and the archetypal Goodwood Panama hat are worn by gentlemen, whilst ladies are noted for their classic quintessential English summer style.

Widely regarded as the world’s most beautiful racecourse, Goodwood is set high on the South Downs and with far reaching views across the Solent, it really is the perfect place to enjoy horseracing and socialising at its very best. It has always been about effortless chic at Goodwood and coupled with some of the best horseracing in Europe, it really is ‘the place to be and be seen’.
