October Half Term

Get involved this October with a new family quest and the return of the teddy bear zip-wire!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Bring your own teddy or borrow a furry Corfe Castle veteran and take them for a tour around the site before attaching it to the zip wire by the castle keep. As your teddy zooms down the zip wire they can help us inspect the work of the conservators as they carry out essential work to conserve Corfe Castle.

Join in with this family quest to find the hidden critters that call the castle home. Explore the castle ruins to discover how they help or hinder us looking after the castle. Complete your quest sheet to earn your conservation token.
