Accessible Parking
We have accessible parking at the front of all our public car parks, please display your Blue Badge and you’ll be directed there. There is no need to pre-book in advance.
Alternatively, if you do not have a Blue Badge and have acquired recent mobility issues, you can pre-book Car Park U near the Goodwood Hotel by contacting the Ticket Office on 01243 755055 who will issue a car label that you will need to gain access.
Courtesy shuttle service
Courtesy shuttles operate in all public car parks to assist those unable to walk to the event entrances. These shuttles will drop you at Event Gate 1 or the nearest pedestrian entrance, depending on your car park location.
There will be a bus shuttle between Gate 1 and Rally as the walk can be difficult.
Within the main event site (Car Park A), an on-site buggy shuttle service is available to help guests with accessibility needs navigate between different locations and attractions. This service operates in the reverse for departure.
Accessible Track Viewing
Designated raised platforms are available for wheelchair users and those with mobility aids to provide clear sightlines of the event:
• Startline
• Track Crossing 4 (next to Kinrara)
• Kinrara Enclosure (GRRC Only)
• Forest Rally Stage
• Pheasantry Grandstand
Changing Places Facilities
A Changing Places bathroom is provided with a changing bed, toilet and hoist. Please check the event map closer to the event for location of these units.
Other key information
Ground conditions
Much of the site is on grass and gravel, and while we endeavour to maintain good conditions underfoot, there may be uneven ground. We lay over 6km of temporary roads to ease movement around the site where possible. If you are using a manual wheelchair you may find it easier to navigate with an electric wheelchair or scooter. Please be aware that due to the nature of the ground at the Rally Stage, there is no trackway.
Essential companion tickets
We are committed to making our events inclusive and unforgettable for all guests. We work with Nimbus Disability to manage the application process for Essential Companion tickets, to ensure the best possible experience for our guests. Find out how to apply.
Accessible toilets
There are several toilets across the site, which will be clearly indicated on the event map. There are also several locations with Changing Places bathrooms which feature a hoist.
Shopmobility
Wheelchair and Scooter hire: Electric and manual wheelchairs are available to hire through Shopmobility, which is located at Gate 1. It is essential to pre-book with Shopmobility.
Sunflower Scheme
We are committed to ensuring all guests enjoy their experience at our events and our staff are trained to recognise the Sunflower and offer support when needed.
Help Points and Support Staff
Throughout the event, there are designated help points staffed by personnel trained to assist guests with accessibility needs. The Goodwood motorsport app provides real time information on accessible facilities, shuttle services, and event maps, aiding in navigation around the site.
