Local Music,
Global Impact

On the Second Saturday of October a volunteer run music festival takes place across Sowerby Bridge to celebrate music, art and community. Everyone’s invited, it’s completely free and we’d love it if you could make it!

Let us introduce you to our passion for music, dance and the arts. With any luck you’ll find some new interests, maybe even become a future performer. It’s a great atmosphere and there’s something for everyone. Welcome to Oxjam.

That Beats Poverty​

Join in the celebration with us, together we can beat global poverty. Join in the work with us, together we can help those that need it most. Join in and perform, together we can create something truly special. 

The festival brings so many benefits to our local community but through Oxfam we reach around the world to help millions in times of need. Oxfam is committed to tackling global poverty, in fact over the past 15 years extreme poverty has been halved. Now let’s beat it together.
