The Tolpuddle Martyrs festival takes palce each July and isa form fixture in the POA calendar.  In this episode we hear about the origins of the festival, why it lies close to the heart of the union, and how the union’s involvement has changed and grown over the years. 

We also hear from Tyler and Mark, two lay POA reps, on their impressions of the festival.  It’s fair to say that it’s not at all what they expected.

More details on the Festival at their website and of course from poauk.org.uk
