“Skedaddle has been the most incredible event. The entire vibe was amazing and I have not stopped talking to everyone I know about it! The farm is gorgeous and so well kept, all the volunteers and extra people around were so friendly, the village was great. I really enjoyed sitting around after racing, enjoying the atmosphere and watching other people come in. I will definitely be returning next year!”
