2 goats, 1 glorious race. The Oxford and Cambridge Goat Race. As always, the goats are free to follow at whatever speed suits them.

SPITALFIELDS CITY FARM (our usual venue) STATEMENT

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

We are so sad to hear about the passing of Spitalfields City Farm resident Watson. Together with Holmes, these two were our β€œshoats of honour” and used to trot along in the warm up ’race’ 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

Happy weekend 🌈 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 I’ll keep quiet until then πŸ™Œ In the meantime, at our recent online festival we painted rainbow goats on our faces πŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸ˜†πŸŒˆπŸ 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! Thank you so so SO much to everyone who donated and attended on Saturday. 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.

IN GOAT WE TRUST! X
