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, organised by the village for the village. It will be a fun packed day out for all. There will be games, crafts, a raffle and face painting.
Taking centre stage will be the arena, with events running all day, including: dog agility displays and mini panto performances, live music and forging demos.
Whilst participating stalls accept cash and card, we recommend taking cash as signal can often be unreliable in the castle ruins.
This event is for the benefit of local organisations and is part of the fundraising to keep the village Christmas lights alive - a tradition running for over 70 years in the making.
