Every July thousands of people come to Tolpuddle in Dorset to celebrate and  commemorate the six farm workers who were arrested and transported to Australia for the 'crime' of forming a trade union. The festival is a popular mix of political discussion and speeches, live music, entertainment for all the family and a procession of banners through the village.
