Event date: 21st – 22nd September 2024
As part of our 50th birthday celebrations, we’re partnering with the Goodwood Estate to host an exclusive weekend of classic cars and incredible food and drink. A group of 20 guests will spend Saturday afternoon on a thrilling off-road drive in a fleet of 1960s Land Rovers, followed by a multi-course alfresco dinner in the Hound Lodge's beautiful courtyard that backs onto the ancient Valdoe woodland. Presented by acclaimed chef Tom Booton with drinks provided by the Rathfinny Estate, the menu includes brown crab, lobster tail, monkfish and lamb, finished off with banoffee pie. A ticket for two people includes all of the above, plus an overnight stay in the luxurious Hound Lodge (one room per ticket), complete with afternoon tea, butler service and a traditional breakfast.

The 11,000-acre estate is also home to an organic farm, which is providing the meat for the dinner.
