Hungerford Arcade celebrated Tutti Day with the rest of Hungerford. The 600 year old custom of the “Tutti-men” is still celebrated in Hungerford every Hocktide and is believed to be the only in existence in England. The ceremony commemorates The granting of common land & fishing rights to the people of Hungerford by John of Gaunt.
The Bellman (town crier) in traditional Costume, blows a series of blasts from the historic Horn. The High Constable, Bailiff and “Tutti-men” are then elected, after which the “Tutti-men” proceed around the Town dispensing oranges and kisses for the women.
