The activities available here are endless, from the traditional country pursuits of shooting and archery to supercar driving experiences, stunt driving lessons and vintage road rallies.
Goodwood Estate’s aerodrome offers Cessna flying lessons and Warbird flight experiences, along with “grapefruit bombing” – a fun and surprisingly competitive activity that takes place with one person flying a plane (under instruction), and the other aiming grapefruits at targets on the airfield.
