Goodwood Revival is held over two days in September with a mixture of racing and flying at this former Battle of Britain station. This event caters for all ages, for those who dress in ’40s, ’50s and ’60s clothing or military uniforms it makes this event very nostalgic. Not only for the enthusiasts who come to see the motor racing but also for those who come to see the flying displays in between the racing.

Goodwood Airfield was created on land that formed part of the Goodwood estate, home to the Duke of Richmond. Goodwood motor circuit first opened its gates to the public in 1948 to host the first post-war racing meeting.
