Glorious Goodwood

British Pullman day trip to Glorious Goodwood horse racing

Illustration of Glorious Goodwood

Belmond runs Glorious Goodwood as a luxury day trip aboard the British Pullman, its restored Art Deco train, from London Victoria to Chichester for an afternoon of racing at Goodwood. Guests sip a sparkling Bellini and enjoy a three-course brunch on the outward journey, then transfer by coach to the 12,000-acre Goodwood estate in the Sussex countryside for the Richmond Enclosure, with access to the Parade Ring and viewing from the March Grandstand or Sussex Stand. After the last race, the return journey includes a champagne reception and a three-course dinner chosen by the sommelier. It suits travellers who want a dress-to-impress day out combining classic rail travel with Glorious Goodwood's summer racing.
