The Ilkley Great Get Together is a community initiative inspired by the late MP Jo Cox’s belief that “we have more in common than that which divides us.” The event is an annual celebration of unity, bringing the Ilkley community together to combat loneliness and isolation.

The Ilkley Great Get Together is a testament to community spirit, with local residents, businesses, and charities contributing time, effort, food, and raffle prizes to make the events a success.

While the Great Get Together is known for its main community gatherings, the initiative also extends its work to other areas throughout the year. For example, the team often organises the distribution of food parcels at Christmas and Easter for local families who need support.

The events are a great way to meet new people, enjoy entertainment, and participate in a shared sense of community.
