The annual festival celebrates the memory of the Tolpuddle Martyrs who were a group of six agricultural labourers convicted of swearing a secret oath as members of the Friendly Society of Agricultural Labourers in 1834. They were sentenced to penal transportation to Australia but were pardoned in 1836 after mass protests, returning to England between 1837 to 1839. (Photo by Finnbarr Webster/Getty Images)
