Goodwood Festival of Speed
The Festival of Speed from Heathrow Airport
The Festival of Speed from Heathrow Airport. For guests landing at Heathrow, the meeting point is the arrivals hall, with the flight tracked. On the map the run is 58.3 miles and about an hour and 29 minutes in clear traffic, by way of the M25, A3 and A286. Compared with a Mayfair start, it is 24 minutes less in the car. In 2027 it runs 15–18 July. Animals other than assistance dogs, drones and excessive alcohol are among prohibited items.
How the day runs
If you are flying in for the day, the chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you in arrivals. Choose a luxury people-carrier for a larger party. Leaving Heathrow Airport, the car picks up the M25 and keeps to the main roads. Drop-off at Goodwood House follows the organisers' published arrangements for the day. Through the afternoon the car is parked close by, not sent away. The return to Heathrow Airport takes about an hour and 32 minutes, plus whatever the car parks need to empty.
