Join Equity at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival

Join Equity at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, 18-20 July 2025

Come with Equity to the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival in Dorset, 18-20 July. The festival is a celebration of solidarity, marking the story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, commonly held as the start of trade unionism.

Expect a weekend of inspiring talks, debates, performances and fringe events, as well as a kids field and plenty of live music, food and drinks. We are organising coaches to the festival from London and the Southwest on the Sunday. The festival is free to attend on the Sunday, with the programme for that day including a banner procession where we showcase our beautiful Equity banner.

If you’re interested in joining us on the coach email Elin on emeredydd@equity.org.uk by 5 June. If you would like to attend for the whole weekend, you can buy tickets here.
