Corfe Castle Village May Fair
Visit the castle and enjoy a traditional May Fair celebration organised by Corfe Castle Village.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Corfe Castle will be hosting its annual village fete. Run by Corfe Castle Festivities Committee, it will be a fun packed day out for all. There will be games, crafts and face painting. The opportunity to purchase plants, produce and gifts made and grown locally. Whilst participating stalls accept cash and card, we recommend taking cash as signal can often be dodgy in the castle ruins.
Taking centre stage will be the arena, with events running all day, including: dog agility displays and visitor dog show, mini panto performances, live music, forging demos and more!
This event is run by the Corfe Castle Christmas Festivities Committee for the benefit of local organisations and as part of the committee's fundraising to keep the village Christmas lights alive - a tradition running for over 70 years in the making.
