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 our family quest to help our resident ghost detective with his investigation. Explore the castle to discover what the ghostly figures are doing in the ruins and don’t forget to collect your stamp at the end.
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.
