7.30. 8am latest. IMO. Stay late and avoid the queues out.
There's almost too much to see and do in one day. If you want to see cars racing, head up towards first corner after the start or just beyond, is only a 10 minute walk.
There is the village at the bottom of the footbridge with all the retro shops.
If you're on a budget for lunch, nip into the retro Tescos in the village and buy their sandwiches, which they sell at normal price!Get in there early!
You don't need a paddock pass to get a good closeup view of the cars, a lot are really accessible.
Do visit the Aviation park , always some fantastic machinery.
The Earls Court exhibition can get very overcrowded and possibly not worth the queue.
Do dress up. Not only important, but essential. If it rains, take an umbrella, there is nowhere to shelter.
Take a camera, probably not necessarily for the racing but for everything else!
Others will add their tuppence worth!
Thank you - just the sort of advice we need . Have had a look at our tickets & they include vouchers for a programme, tickets for the Woodcote Grandstand & lunch at The Richmond Arms. Am I right in thinking that The Richmond Arms is some distance from the hub of things?There's almost too much to see and do in one day.

Got to say Molly, that if you're only there for the one day, taking 2 hours out to go for lunch in a pub around the corner (which is something you can do anytime anywhere), would be too much of a time sacrifice for me. Depends how important lunch is to you, but for me I want every moment of Revival.
Uh-oh - dillema time! We have a nice little package of tickets and those are in there - I understand them to be worth £49 pp so would seem silly to settle for a retro Tesco's sandwich instead Anyone experienced lunch at The Richmond Arms?RichB said:

Yes, as I said, it's the bar attached to the Goodwood Hotel. Nice but like 9.3 I wouldn't take 2 hours out of the day for it. But then I go to the Revival for the racing. Gassing Station | Goodwood Events | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
