They are calling on the Indian government to end the new agriculture laws which they say will cripple already meager profits for farmers in the country's Punjab region.
One organiser Prabhjot Singh, says simply: "being silent about injustice is injustice".
"Tamworth is a place with majority of farmers, so they should be aware about farmers' situations around the world," he said.
They take issue with three main changes the Indian government has introduced, which will see the "slow abolishment" of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers' crops and the ability for big corporations to come in and "control the price at their will".
All while taking away the "fundamental right" for farmers to dispute decisions made by corporate bodies on prices or contract terms.
Already, tens of thousands of Sikhs have protested and are still protesting in India, America, Britain and right across the world.

Here in Australia, protests have been held in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, and Sydney.
Mr Singh is expecting anywhere from 40 to 60 people at the protest, but would always welcome more.
"Against the laws, create international pressure on the Indian government to amend the bills and to do something in favour of justice," he said.
The protestors will gather between 4.30pm and 5pm at the end of White Street, Bicentennial Park on Saturday.
