Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, Dorset
July 17 - November 10
One of our absolute favourite events – it’s a privilege to be back at Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival in 2026.
To make it extra special, this year we have been invited to play the Martyrs Marquee on Friday 17th July as part of the official programming!
It’s going to be a great night with legendary comedian Mark Thomas, and awesome reggae/soul act Joe Yorke also on the bill.
Plus a whole weekend of music, political discussion, comedy, theatre, speakers, kids activities and the world-famous union banner march through the village on Sunday afternoon.
The festival celebrates the birth of the UK trade union movement in this tiny Dorset village in 1834. It’s a festival of positivity, hope and action.
Come and be part of something very special.
