Hungerford keeps Hocktide on the second Tuesday after Easter through the Town and Manor, which still looks after the common rights of the town. Two Tutti Men in morning suits, carrying poles topped with posies of flowers, call at the commoners’ houses to collect their dues, traditionally a coin or a kiss, while oranges are handed out and the Hocktide Court sits.
