February Half Term at Corfe Castle

Hop into the wild’ family trail, inspired by Disney and Pixar's "Hoppers". Plus the return of the Teddy Bear Zip Wire.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This February half term, the National Trust at Corfe Castle is celebrating the release of Disney and Pixar’s “Hoppers”, in Cinemas 6 March. Discover the ‘Hop into the wild’ family trail, with storytelling and outdoor play.   If you’re a family (with children aged 6-11), come and enjoy the castle, guided by cutouts of the “Hoppers” gang. Collect your discovery passport, explore the animal kingdoms, and most importantly, unleash your wild side!   Plus, the popular Teddy Bear Zip Wire returns. For children of all ages - bring along your most adventurous teddy bear, or borrow one of our Corfe Castle veterans, to zoom on our much‑loved teddy zip wire. Clip them on high within the Keep and watch as they whizz across the great ditch.  Collect them on your way down to receive their very own bravery certificate.
