Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival 2023
Details
Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival 2023
After a highly successful return of the festival in 2022, we look to the future – the next Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival will be on the 14-16th of July, 2023.
About: There has been an annual gathering to mark the story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs since 1930s. It began as a Sunday afternoon event with wreaths laid on the grave of James Hammett, followed by a procession of banners and speeches. Today, the annual event sees thousands of trade unionists from around the UK and the world descends on the small village of Tolpuddle in Dorset to celebrate the memory of the Tolpuddle Martyrs and the legacy they left behind.
The Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival reflects the spirit of those prepared to stand up and be counted, and for those just learning about its history. It is a joyful celebration of solidarity.
