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 the conservators have just finished!
Explore the castle with our new family quest! Step back into a time where everyday life was filled with folklore, mystery, and superstition, where every home had its own secrets.
Don't forget to take a spook-tacular selfie with our pumpkin display right in front of the castle!
This is a free event, but standard admission applies, free for National Trust members.
