Boutique Brunch

Held for the first time, a private view of the Autumn/Winter collections at a stylish fashion event hosted at The Kennels, Goodwood's private members club.

There will be a series of three fashion shows each day, running over the two day period for local and national boutiques to showcase and promote the wealth of stunning designs available in the South.

The ticketed event will be open to all members and non-members of Goodwood and will allow a limited numbers of guests to experience:

  • a fashion lecture over a delicious seated brunch
  • access to an exclusive shopping market with a selection of handpicked fashion retailers
  • entry to one of two workshops

Emma Schwarz explains, “We felt local retailers needed a unique and stylish event to show off their forthcoming collections and where better than at the stunning Kennels with Goodwood’s renowned hospitality. We hope it will form part of a diary of innovative events in and around Sussex that bring retailers and their target customers together in a more exciting way.”
