Sunday – Martyrs’ Day

On Sunday, the tiny village of Tolpuddle gets even more visitors as they arrive to take part in the big procession to commemorate the Martyrs. The road is closed from 13.00 – 18.00 to allow for the many unions banners march through the narrow road.

Great music keeps the vibe of the Festival going as we also welcome some big trade unionists to rally the thousands of visitors on the Main Stage.

You can download a copy of the full programme here.
