Equipment Hire for the Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is the world's largest automotive garden party, drawing 200,000 visitors across four days each July. The event combines motorsport hillclimb action with manufacturer launch events, classic car displays, and some of the most high-quality corporate hospitality in the UK events calendar. Expo Hire is a member of NOEA (National Outdoor Events Association). We supply furniture, glassware, and catering equipment to hospitality operators and caterers at the event.

Access note: Goodwood Festival of Speed is a ticketed, restricted-access site. We cannot deliver or collect without prior written agreement — if our vehicles cannot move freely throughout the delivery and collection window, we cannot service the booking on standard terms.
