Your Journey

Pristine white linen and sparkling glassware adorn your table in one of our individually decorated 1930s Pullman-style carriages, which have been lovingly restored by some of the country's top craftspeople, including marquetry experts, muralists and mosaic artists. Within minutes, one of our liveried Stewards will carefully pour you a sparkling Mimosa cocktail as you study the sumptuous menu.

Ahead lies a journey back to the Golden Days of rail travel, a time when nothing was too good for the pampered passengers. Our Executive Head Chef and his team will already be hard at work in the kitchen carriage preparing a sumptuous three-course brunch and six-course dinner, accompanied by our Sommelier’s choice of wine. Each course boasts the finest seasonal ingredients from the British Isles, classic and innovative dishes are crafted in our recently refurbished kitchen carriage.

En route to Goodwood a delicious three-course brunch is served as the glorious British countryside passes by. On arrival at the station you will be transferred to the course and provided with enclosure entrance badges. Marvel at the stunning racecourse, the convivial atmosphere and the glamorous crowd in attendance for the flagship meeting of the Goodwood season. Excitement, fun and thrills of racing are guaranteed today.

After an incredible day we rejoin the Northern Belle for a Champagne reception, before tucking into a sumptuous six-course dinner during the leisurely journey home.

GLORIOUS GOODWOOD

Horse racing has been a part of Goodwood since 1802, when the 3rd Duke of Richmond introduced the sport as an amusement for local army officers. Fast forward two hundred years and there are 19 unique race days, including the flagship event, the Qatar Goodwood Festival, affectionately known as Glorious Goodwood.

RICHMOND ENCLOSURE

The premier enclosure at Goodwood, the Richmond Enclosure features stylish bars including the Champagne Lawn and 1812 Bar, including views directly opposite the winning post. Non reserved covered seating opposite the winning post and parade ring viewing. Richmond Enclosure patrons also have access to both the Gordon and Lennox Enclosures. Race Tickets will be handed out on board the train.

RACECOURSE DRESS CODE

Gentleman are required to wear a jacket and tie. Boys aged 7-15 years are asked to wear a long sleeved collared shirt (no polo shirts).

Ladies, it's all about the garden party look: a floaty or floral dress, an elegant top and trouser/skirt combination that is suitable for England in summer.

We recommend that you leave your stiletto heels at home, as the uneven ground can be tricky to walk on.
