🗓️ Sunday 25th October 2026
Celebrate Diwali at Corfe Castle this October as the ruins come alive with live music, dance performances, storytelling and food & craft stalls.
The Festival of Lights is an after-dark experience with ambient lighting displays and floral installations.
There’ll be an array of Indian food available to enjoy whilst you listen to the stories behind the meaning of Diwali – hope, community and light over darkness.
Traditional and contemporary dance and music will be performed on the central stage and kids can enjoy a special activity zone where they can try their hand at Indian arts and crafts such as rangoli-making.
A community diya-lighting ceremony will mark the end of the evening.
