Thousand-year-old royal castle shaped by warfare
The Square, Corfe Castle, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5EZ
Our events at Corfe Castle are designed to ensure everyone has a great day out. There's something for all, from seasonal family quests, artisan crafts, guided walks, a teddy zip-wire and guided bat walks.
Corfe Castle is the perfect place to enjoy a fun-filled family day out. There is always something new to explore and join in with a jam-packed programme of events.
There's so much to see and do here this October half term. Bring your teddy to experience the wind in their fur on our dedicated teddy zip-wire, explore the ruins to discover the critters who call the castle home and get a selfie in our pumpkin display.
Join our Lord of Misrule on a festive storytelling tour, help Monty Mouse and his wife Matilda find gifts in our new family quest, warm up around our fire pits, toast marshmallows, make a Christmas wish on our wishing tree or come along to our evening Christmas lights and solstice events.
Looking after Corfe Castle is a vast and complex task with access being one of the most significant challenges. A three year, £2m conservation project has begun with a dedicated team working throughout the seasons to ensure the castle endures for future generations.
Corfe Castle offers plenty to see and do, including walks around the ruins, a audio trail and wildlife spotting in the surrounding hills. Find out more.
