Nowhere else can enthusiasts from around the world come bumper-to-bumper with racing vehicles of all types – from bikes to automobiles and from steam-powered locomotives to Formula One race cars – than at this event, the biggest celebration of motor sport in the world. Sir Richard Branson has called it “an incomparable sporting experience.” The Goodwood Festival of Speed provides a unique and mesmerizing mix of racing and entertainment, with the chic hospitality amenities characteristic of a world-class event. You’ll have complete VIP access as the guest of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, including tickets to the black tie gala on Saturday night where you’ll rub elbows with British celebrities and dignitaries.

Upon arriving in the U.K., you’ll spend three nights at the acclaimed Lanesborough in London. Rated as the number one hotel in London by Travel + Leisure and “tops” by Zagat Survey, The Lanesborough, a St. Regis Hotel, captures the grace of the Regency period. Ideally located in elegant Knightsbridge, the residence is minutes away from the exclusive shopping of Harrods and Sloane Street. The 49 superb guest rooms and 46 lavish suites feature authentic Regency detailing – from the fabulous color choices to the antique furnishings. The classic décor is paired with state-of-the-art amenities, to create a luxurious harmony of comfort.

Enjoy a custom made itinerary for you and your traveling companions. You may choose to see the Tower of London including the Crown Jewels; Buckingham Palace; St Paul’s Cathedral – whatever appeals. After having high tea at The Lanesborough, you can explore numerous iconic shopping landmarks including Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Fortnum & Mason’s (celebrating it’s 300th Anniversary) and the Bond Street boutiques. You’ll also spend a memorable night on the town at your choice of either a top play or world-famous show in London’s theatre land.

After your action packed time in London, you’ll travel to West Sussex for a thrill-packed Saturday at the Festival, capping the evening with a black tie gala dinner at Goodwood House, hosted by Lord March. Surrounded by 12,000 acres of pristine countryside, Goodwood House has been the home of the Dukes of Richmond for more than three centuries. The Goodwood House Chef will ensure a meal that surpasses your highest expectations.

Your envoy to England will conclude with lunch on Sunday. But the excitement and excellence of this experience will not end when you leave the United Kingdom. You’ve had the best of the best across the pond so for your enjoyment stateside, sip a glass of perfection from one of your 24 100-point bottles of wine. A virtual “Who’s Who” in the world of wine from the last three decades, this is a globe spanning collection of liquid perfection like none other.
