Procession

The heart of the Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival – for decades, and long before there was a jam-packed programme of music and talks, trades unionists gathered in Tolpuddle to march in commemoration of the Martyrs, their historical victories and the establishment of the Trades Union movement in the UK.

Gather with your union bloc or campaign group on Sunday 20 July from 14.00, along with your banners on the main road.
