17:15-18:00 – DEBATE: Establishing roots of resistance 

In our Festival’s starter-for-ten session, we hear about the TUC’s Organising strategy for growth as numbers tick up but workers’ needs soars. And we bring in voices from the South West’s Young Organisers Network to share their roots of organising and how the fledgling network is rooting down and growing up into a collective of young active trade unionists. We also launch the Tolpuddle’s Organise School, a programme that recognises how all of us have a story to share, lessons to learn, and experiences to build on. Learning to resist oppression and building power through solidarity is at the very core of our movement, So join us as we kick start the festival, in the place where it all began.

From 21:00 Fringe Tent – DJ set with Vinyl Van

Fresh faces and tunes for our DJ tent takeover on Friday night with local heroes @vinylvandorset as they make the short trip from Dorchester to bring you a night of dancefloor joy  Marcia and Helen (DJ Marcia and Mixtape Hell) from Vinyl Van say: “We’ve got an independent record shop in Dorchester selling new and preloved records, upcycled clothing, band T’s and more. We began originally taking our VW Campervan to festivals to sell records and we still do that as well as having a physical shop. We also DJ at events powering our sound system from solar panels so we can literally take the party anywhere. Expect an eclectic mix of music with plenty of soul and some funk, ska, hip hop, reggae, world, just groovy beats to get you dancing.”
