Use a character class with beginning and end anchors to specify what is allowed:

/^[a-z& ]*$/i

Allows:

A-Z (case insensitive)
& (ampersand)
spaces

0 or more times.

This checks that there are no numbers in the string:

/[^0-9]*/

I just want to note remus answer is correct. I'm just showing the general way to accept with just no numbers.
