Hundreds of singers are due to converge on St George’s Square, Huddersfield (just outside Huddersfield Train Station) for the first ever Big Sing Yorkshire .

Reviving a great two hundred year old Yorkshire tradition for coming together and singing in open spaces, Big Sing Yorkshire  celebrates all that is good about Yorkshire, and about the joy of singing. Adult Learners' Week 20th year logo

Big Sing Yorkshire  takes place on Saturday 21st May, starting at 11am. It is part of the celebrations for the 20th year of the Adult Learners Week campaign for adult learning, and will be publicised widely, including TV coverage through Look North.

Conducted by Sally Egan, local choral animateur and vocal trainer, and open to absolutely anyone who wants to join in, the singers will join in a series of Yorkshire themed songs such as:'On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at', ‘Jerusalem’ and a new Yorkshire song being commissioned from local poet and songwriter Ian MacMillan.

Please sign up for Big Sing Yorkshire to help us gauge the numbers expected to arrive in Huddersfield, but it’s not essential to sign up in order to take part. Everyone will be welcome. Big Sing Yorkshire picture
