 The
famous July races, described by King Edward VII as 'a garden party with
racing tacked on' are world renowned. Taking place at what is often described
as 'the world's most beautiful racecourse' the five-day Festival Meeting
is a riot of colour, fashion, famous faces and spectacular hats. A firm
fixture in the English summer Season for 200 years, all of society's
cognoscenti descend on Goodwood each year to revel in its ravishing setting
as well as to marvel at the world's top jockeys, trainers and horses
as they battle it out on top of the Sussex Downs.
 The views are truly breathtaking, and there are few
sporting spectacles more exhilarating than watching the world's greatest
thoroughbreds battling for the honours.
Goodwood makes its own fashion statement - casual linen
suits and Panama hats for the gentlemen and flirty summer frocks topped
with eye-catching hats for the ladies. Its as much about effortless chic
as it is about horseracing at its most relaxed and chic.
