Day 1 - 4

Excursion One – Petworth House and Park & Arundel Castle

We start the day with a visit to Petworth House and Park, an impressive estate that combines a deer park landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown with a vast 17th-century mansion, crammed full of the National Trust’s finest collection of art and sculptures. Masterpieces by the likes of Van Dyck, Reynolds, Blake and Turner himself are displayed in the opulent state rooms and North Gallery. Afterwards, we head to Arundel Castle, a restored and remodelled medieval castle set high on a hill in Sussex. During our guided tour we get up close with many of the original features such as the Norman Keep and medieval Gatehouse, and learn all about the finely preserved interior with its impressive antique furniture, tapestries and rare collection of paintings by renowned artists including Van Dyck, Gainsborough and Canaletto. Our visit wouldn’t be complete without a wander through the enchanting rose gardens.

Excursion Two – Goodwood Revival

Today is the highlight of our break, with the day spent at Goodwood Revival. Recreating the glamour of motor racing as it used to be, this is the perfect celebration of bygone days. With wheel-to-wheel racing around this classic circuit and vintage fashion aplenty, we soak up the unique atmosphere and return to the halcyon days of Goodwood. Our Roving Grandstand ticket* includes a Roving Grandstand pass, event programme with radio earpiece and access to Over the Road area.

*There is also the option to upgrade to The Barracks package for £90, which includes a private garden close to the track action, brunch, light afternoon tea, programme with radio earpiece, tea and coffee, informal seating layout and a private cash bar.
