UK Rally to Goodwood Revival presented by:
The Petersen Museum
Our debut 9-day rally exploring luxury accommodations, fine dining, automotive excellence, and private collections throughout the amazing country of England.
Flight & Travel Recommendations
Our official Rally starts in the North of England in Cheshire. The closest airport to is MAN (Manchester) which usually entails a stop on the way (there are very few direct flights). From the airport, the journey is approximately 1 hour by car to the hotel
If you prefer direct, there are plenty of direct flights from the US to London (Gatwick or Heathrow). From there you can get a local flight to Manchester, or if you prefer a taxi/driver up to Cheshire, one of the Petersen Team can meet or pick you up from the local station or airport. The journey is approximately 3.5-4 hours by car from Gatwick.
You could also hire a vehicle 1 way as we will provide vehicles for you on arrival (recommendations for vehicle hire - TBD)
We recommend flying 1 or 2 days earlier if your schedule allows to adjust to the time zone and reduce jet lag. This way you can really enjoy your rally experience from Day 1.
This schedule is provisional and changes may occur leading up to the event. Please keep an eye on this as it will hold the most up-to-date information at any given time.
