Get ready for a night of pure musical joy, community vibes, and timeless Beatles tunes at Big Jammin – Ilkley’s friendliest jam session!
Whether you're a die-hard Beatles fan, an occasional shower singer, or someone who just loves a good night out with live music and great company, this event is made for you. The Beatles created some of the most iconic and singable songs in history—and we’re bringing them to life, jam-style!
🎤 What is Big Jammin?
Big Jammin is an open, inclusive jamming session where anyone can take part—no matter your skill level. Whether you play guitar, keys, cajón, saxophone, kazoo—or you just like to sing your heart out—we welcome you to come and join in. Not a performer? No problem. Plenty of people just come along to enjoy the music, have a drink, and soak up the fun.
Each event has a musical theme, and this time we’re celebrating the ultimate: The Beatles. From the soaring harmonies of Nowhere Man to the infectious groove of Come Together to the anthem of an entire generation (Hey Jude), we’ll be jamming through some of the Fab Four’s finest.
