Dust off your cowboy boots and get ready for a summer night with a difference as Hoe Down at Finkley Down rides into Andover on Saturday 27th June. This event is organised and supported by The Local Marketing Company & Finkley Down Farm with all proceeds going to local charity, The Yellow Brick Road Projects.
Set against the unique backdrop of Finkley Down Farm after dark, this one-off charity event promises an immersive western-themed evening packed with live entertainment, great food, flowing drinks and plenty of fun. Running from 6:30pm to 10:30pm, the farm will be transformed into a lively hoe down, complete with music, games, activities, a raffle and an auction — all designed to keep the party going well into the evening.
Guests are encouraged to fully embrace the theme, with western-inspired outfits adding to the atmosphere and helping to create a memorable night for everyone attending. Whether you’re coming with friends, colleagues or as part of a group, the event is all about letting your hair down, enjoying the entertainment and soaking up the unique setting.
The Hoe Down is being hosted by The Local Marketing Company and Finkley Down Farm, bringing the local community together for an unforgettable summer celebration while raising vital funds for Yellow Brick Road Projects, a local charity supporting young people aged 16–35 through life-skills programmes that help prevent youth homelessness and reduce poverty and isolation.
Tickets are £50 per person, with a group ticket of 10 available for a minimum donation of £450, making it ideal for businesses, teams or groups of friends looking for a great night out with a purpose. Every penny raised on the night will go directly towards supporting vulnerable young people across the Test Valley and beyond.
