The Exhibition will be directly adjacent to the many other Festival of Speed activities, including the 1.16mile hillclimb, and just a few meters away from the Moving Motor Show.

Along with its new on-site location, the Goodwood Aviation Exhibition will also be expanded, and is set to include a dedicated military and civilian careers area, business lounge, plus military aircraft exhibitions.
