If you’re attending the last Breakfast Club of the year, you will be directed to park at the racecourse where a shuttle bus will bring you to the circuit. If you’re arriving from 11.30am our marshals will show you where to park at the motor circuit.
The distance around the circuit is just under 2.5miles and is a leisurely walk without traffic or other obstacles to hinder families and their hounds. It’s the perfect place for a Sunday walk with the family and the chance to meet up with friends and their dogs too.
The Big Dog Walk will raise money for Goodwoof’s official charity for 2023, Pets As Therapy. The charity and its volunteers seek to give everyone, whatever their circumstances, the chance to enjoy the calming benefits of stroking and cuddling a friendly dog or cat. Volunteers and their animals visit establishments such as schools, care homes, hospitals, hospices and prisons as part of their work.
Will there be any food outlets available?
Yes, the Aerodrome Café, Motor Circuit café and the Horsebox will be open selling various food, hot and cold drinks.
Will there be anyone from the charity there to talk to?
Yes, Pets As Therapy volunteers will be on hand so that you can find out more about their essential work and make your donations if you’d like to.
Should I bring anything for my dog?
Please could you bring your own waste bags for your dog and deposit any that you use in the bins which will be clearly marked.
Any other things to note?
We kindly ask you to always keep your dog on a lead and, for safety’s sake, make sure no-one in your party – human or canine – strays onto the airfield please.
Can I buy tickets for Goodwoof on the day?
Of course. Our signs feature a QR code which takes you straight to our ticket site on goodwood.com Ask a member of staff if you need help with this.

Clare Davis CEO of Pets As Therapy (PAT)
Clare continued "PAT ambassador, James Middleton, spent both days at Goodwoof this year, riding around the event on a bike with a boxful of his own dogs on board, letting visitors know exactly how essential the work carried out by PAT volunteers and their animals can be to people from all walks of life.”
Entry for the walk is completely free, but donations to the charity are very much encouraged. Earlier this year, the inaugural Goodwoof raised over £30,000 for charity thanks to the generous support of Goodwoof visitors and supporters.
Special guests on the day, will be Diego, a gentle Great Dane, and his owner, Carlos in their unique motorbike and sidecar combination. Locals near their home in Wembley are used to spotting Carlos riding his motorbike with Diego snuggled in the sidecar sporting goggles to keep the wind out of his eyes.
We are very much looking forward to heading down to the Goodwood Motor Circuit to celebrate the launch of tickets becoming available for next year’s Goodwoof, enjoy all the sights and sounds of the legendary Breakfast Club and, of course, support the amazing and essential work that Pets As Therapy carry out.
