I have a friend coming over from Canada on a Europe visiting tour & he want to incorporate the Goodwood FoS, he's intending to use their public transport - I believe they operate some sort of shuttle service from various points.

He'd got suitable accommodation booked in Chichester, but they've now cancelled - presumably cos they've realised it's FoS w/e & can charge accordingly

I'd wondered if there is any pre pitched camping available, but a quick Google search produced only Goodwood's own site, which I didn't even bother to look at pricing - I don't think Lord March really needs any more money!

I can't really help as he's coming in via the Chunnel & staying around the S.Coast, whereas I'm intending to meet him at FoS, but will be coming in from the North side

Anyone got any local info or can think of any alternatives that would work - unfortunately, I'm sure no taxi service is likely to be of much use as the roads are invariably blocked well b4 7am

I went to goodwood last year, TAXI and busses take a different route to enter (separate from the public parking queue)

I think there was a dedicated local bus too

that was goodwood revival not fos

When I went (admittedly in 2005) I stayed at the Chichester local university. They hire out rooms during the uni holidays. Basic, but very cheap with slap up breakfast thrown in. Organized a taxi into Goodwood every morning, taxis' use dedicated roads so you miss most of the traffic congestion. In the evening took the dedicated bus back to Chichester for pub supper and then taxi back to digs.

Worked really well for me. I just so happen to have the number of Chichester tourist office here - 01243 775 888. Not sure if it is still current.
