UKBC Summer Jam
19th August 2026, MECA, Swindon, Wiltshire.

FREE ENTRY LIVE MUSIC EVENT!

Over 20 years ago, our music community grew from people meeting in parks for unamplified jams like “King of the Jam,” where the winner actually took home a pot of jam! So now it’s time to bring that summer jam spirit back.

We’re celebrating the scene with a day of music and fun focussing on collaboration, networking, creativity and YOU performing and making music together on a MASSIVE stage.

Join the jam for FREE!

When? 19th August 2026 🗓️
Where? The MECA, Swindon 🏢
What time? 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM 🕔
