Goodwood Revival at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex: Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September 2026

An idyllic summer day out, the Goodwood Revival presented by Dunlop is an immersive celebration of vintage cars and fashion and has something for everyone.

Exhilarating classic motor racing track action, a bustling vintage atmosphere and charming moments throughout. All set against a stunning backdrop of period-perfect splendour. In 2026, step into La Dolce Vita, 'the sweet life', where Italian style, passion and romance weave their way through an unforgettable weekend.

The exciting action takes place on and off the track throughout the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the event, and the 3-day attendance at Goodwood this year is expected to be around 150,000. With such big numbers heading to the Circuit, why not consider travelling to the event by train this year.

You can use the train to travel to and from the event

The Goodwood Motor Circuit which hosts the event is situated near Chichester in West Sussex.

To travel to and from the event by train simply book your ticket on one of the regular train services to Chichester station, with direct trains available from nearby major cities including Brighton, Southampton and Portsmouth. If you’re travelling from London, the journey time to Chichester by direct train is approximately 1 hr 35 mins on Friday - this extends to between 2hrs and 2hrs 20 mins on Saturday and Sunday due to engineering work diversions (see * below).

Once you arrive at Chichester station, simply hop on the shuttle bus service running regularly between the station and the event gate. It’s the best way to skip the traffic and catch a ride straight to the event. You will need to purchase a separate ticket on the day as you get on the shuttle bus, as it is not included with either your train ticket or event ticket.

The shuttle bus service will run between the event and Chichester station between 07:00 and 22:00 on Friday and Saturday, and between 07:00 and 21:00 on Sunday.

Sit back, relax and enjoy! Travelling by train is one of the easiest ways to get to Goodwood Revival.

Which railway station should I travel to?

You should go to Chichester station. There is normally step-free access at this station via lifts, however the lifts were reported to be out of order indefinitely when we last updated this guide (July 2026) - if the lifts aren't working during the event, step-free access will still be available to both platforms via the level crossing.

You can use the National Rail journey planner to plan your travel between your local station and Chichester.

* There are no planned railway engineering works affecting Chichester station itself on the 3 days of the event. But there will be nearby engineering works all day on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September closing the line between Horsham and Barnham - trains between London Victoria and Portsmouth Harbour will still call at Chichester but will be diverted via Hove and Worthing.

Please be aware that the bus transfers between Chichester station and the Goodwood circuit only run at certain times during the day, so please plan your journey accordingly.
