Definition
赶场 is a separable verb (离合词) that originally meant 'to rush from one performance to another' (e.g., an actor performing at two theaters in one evening). In broader usage it can mean 'to go from one event or place to another in a hurry,' like rushing between appointments or market fairs. The verb 赶 and the object 场 can split: you can insert a measure word or modifier between them, e.g., 赶了三场 ('rushed to three events').
v.o.
