Lord of Misrule Storytelling tours
Join a storytelling tour with Corfe Castle's ‘Lord of Misrule’.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Far back in the mists of history, at the darkest time of the year the Lord of Misrule was chosen to oversee the fun and frivolity of the Christmas feast. Swapping places with the lord of the manor, they had complete power over all the guests in choosing the games, dances and other entertainments. Take a step back to the medieval period with our very own Lord of Misrule on a festive storytelling tour. On this interactive journey through the ruins of the castle discover games, dances, stories and Christmas traditions of days gone by.
Tours begin at 11am, 12:30pm and 2pm (New Year's day 12:30pm and 2pm)
