The Oxford Cambridge Goat Race
"This is primarily a fundraising event where ticket sales support all the farm animals directly, with 2012's proceeds raising enough to cover a whole year's food bill! In recent years, we received a few complaints saying that this event is cruel to the goats, but these complaints often come from people that have ne
Hamish and other former athletes, checking in to say hello! π They have all retired from racing but are living their best lives at Spitalfields City Farm. There are no plans to bring The Oxford & Cambridge Goat Race back but keep an eye out for future farm events here: https://www.spitalfieldscityfarm.org/whats-on

Spot of Goat Yoga anyone? We opened with a spot of live from and were joined by goat yogis (gogis?!) from as far away as Australia! Horns off to Zoe from Fold Yoga London who was a complete pro all the way through despite Hamish trying to eat the camera as the class came to an end. ππ§πΌπ
We are so sad to hear about the passing of Spitalfields City Farm resident Watson. Together with Holmes, these two were our βshoats of honourβ and used to trot along in the warm up βraceβ every year at The Goat Race. Such a wonderful pig, he was so loved and cared for until the end and lived to a ripe old age of 10. Rest in peace, old friend x
For those kind souls who recently donated their already purchased Goat Race ticket to support Spitalfields City Farm through these difficult times, we wondered if you could help the farm maximise your generous donation.
You see, the cancelled tickets are eligible for Gift Aid, meaning we can make your donation go EVEN FURTHER!
Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer.
All you have to do is fill out the form in the link below. It will not cost you any extra, it's just something that needs to be filled in by yourselves before the farm can claim the Gift Aid relief.

S pitalfields Farm are immensely grateful and really appreciate you taking the time to help them. Your contribution will help ensure the goats, and all the other 80 animals on the farm are cared for and the farm can look forward to hosting The Oxford Cambridge Goat Race in 2021! ππ
Gift Aid Declaration Form β Spitalfields City Farm Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer and will only be used for this purpose.
How was your weekend?
Itβs Friday! Time to get the goat horns out again...oh whatβs that? You donβt have any? Then check out this video from where Starlight Boutique Facepaint legend Sophie showed us how to make the snazziest raindbow horns from basic household items πππΊ

Happy weekend π At the Goat Race we have long been proud to support the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and always have this banner on our tracks. We celebrate everyone and we were due to launch a very special collaboration before the lockdown halted the race this year. Hopefully 2021 will see this partnership happen so Iβll keep quiet until then π In the meantime, at our recent online festival we painted rainbow goats on our faces ππΌπππ because pride is life and so are goats.

WOW, what can we say. The Goat Rave was a rip roaring success and we are blown away to discover that we raised just over Β£900 for City Farm!

This was the first time we have run an online event like this and it was just brilliant seeing how much you all goat involved!!
MASSIVE thank you to everyone that made the day what it was including our fabulous host, Goatry extraordinaire and quiz master Tim Kennington, Zoe from Fold Yoga London for the hilarious and brilliant Goat Yoga class, Boutique Facepaint for the rainbow goats facepainting and matching DIY goat horns, Gerrard-Wright for the enthralling storytelling, The Goat Chelsea for making delicious GoaTEAni's, the inimitable Jay Foreman for his bad ass nonsense songs and to our incredible Goat Rave DJs The Chief Goat, DJ Lewi, Bunker Seventeen & Rich What a day! We're still smiling from all of the fun that was had and will be posting pics and video clips throughout the week. You can also now watch the DJ sets back on our Twitch page www.twitch.tv/thegoatrave
Below is the mini farm tour by Spitalfields Farm Manager Jenny that we kicked the day off with before Goat Yoga. Some of you may have missed this so we wanted to repost so you can see where your donations are going.
And for those who have been asking if they can still donate to the farm, we have opened up a new event page so that you can. All you need to do is head to https://www.thegoatrace.com and click the 'make a donation' button. This will take you to an event page where you buy a 'ticket' as your donation (this is just to donate, there are no more goat rave events)
Thanks again you awesome humans.
