From Saturday 24 May to Sunday 1 June 2025, the Estate comes alive with a jam-packed programme of fun, immersive experiences curated for kids of all ages, inspired by Goodwood’s sporting passions. Whether you’ve got little ones eager to get stuck into messy play, tweens ready to explore, or teens hungry for independence and a bit of adrenaline – we’ve got it covered.

Start the day with treetop challenges or test your reflexes on a professional-grade race simulator. Let the future F1 driver in your family try out a Young Driver Experience at the iconic Motor Circuit or feel the thrill of a Junior Clay Shoot. For those dreaming of the skies, a behind-the-scenes Hangar Tour at Goodwood Aerodrome is sure to inspire.

Creative minds can unwind with workshops, inspired by Revival’s Revive & Thrive ethos inspiring us all with creative ways to rethink, repair and re-wear, little hands can create a sustainable bird and bee water feeder and get chocolate bar crafting with a healthy twist inspired by our mindful indulgence wellbeing philosophy.

Active adventurers can dive into our sports day, play cricket on one of the country’s oldest pitches, or trot off on a horse groom and ride experience. And when it’s time to relax? Get ready for The Trolls Movie screening, complete with a soundtrack-inspired dance workshop, or catch every twist and turn of two of F1’s iconic races with the Monaco and Spanish Grands Prixes being shown on the big screen.

Parents, we haven’t forgotten you. Take a moment to yourself with a spa treatment, a relaxing round of golf, or an Off-Road Driving experience. And when it’s time to come together, sit down to delicious seasonal dining at The Kennels restaurant or the award-winning Farmer, Butcher, Chef, explore our woodland trails, or enjoy an afternoon tea with the dog at your feet.

At Goodwood, it’s all in one place – so you can focus on family time, not logistics. Whether you’re building dens with the little ones, sharing giggles poolside, or watching your teen beam with pride after mastering a clay shoot, this is what Half Term should feel like: easy, joyful and full of quality time and fresh air.

Ready for an unforgettable family escape?
