The weeks the city fills
15–18 Jul 2027
Goodwood Festival of Speed
Worst: Sunday at ×2.4. Cheapest: Thursday at ×1.4.
Against what the same hotel costs four weeks earlier — our estimate, not a live rate. Outside these weeks Chichester prices like any other month.

Where to stay
Goodwood House| District | To the venue | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chichester | 20 min shuttle | $$$ | The cathedral city four miles away; shuttle buses run from the station all day |
| Arundel & Petworth | 30 min drive | $$$ | Country-town inns in the South Downs, the nicest way to do the weekend |
| Bognor Regis & the coast | 30 min drive | $$ | Seaside hotels and holiday lets that price below the city |
| Portsmouth | 45 min train | $$ | A city with real hotel stock 40 minutes west, on the same railway line |
| Brighton | 70 min train | $$$ | An hour east by train; the fallback that still has rooms in June |
