Dust off your cowboy boots and join us on Friday 4 July for a fun-filled evening of American-themed entertainment at the YMCA Hoe Down! Expect live music, energetic dancing, and plenty of family-friendly activities that are sure to keep spirits high all night.
Held at our YMCA Newark and Sherwood Community and Activity Village and proudly sponsored by Aarsleff, the event promises something for everyone.
What’s in Store?
From the moment you arrive at 6pm, you’ll be treated to live music from the incredible Bang on the Wall band and invited to join lively, themed dances led by an experienced caller—no experience needed, just bring your energy!
The fun doesn’t stop there. Enjoy games, themed photo ops, delicious American-style food, and a fully stocked bar to keep you refreshed throughout the evening. And don’t forget to dress to impress—we’ve got prizes for the best-dressed cowboy and cowgirl!
All for a Great Cause
Even better, every ticket purchased supports our Newark community through YMCA’s Scholarships scheme, helping to fund youth memberships and holiday camp places for local families who may not otherwise afford them.
At YMCA, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, explore their interests, and reach their full potential—regardless of their background or financial situation.

It’s a cause we are honoured to stand behind”
