Food & Drink Festival
(at Corfe Castle)
JULY 2025

🗓️ Saturday 12th – Sunday 13th July 2025

Following the success of last year’s inaugural Food & Drink Festival, the National Trust and Love It Local are once again hosting the summer event in the grounds of Corfe Castle.

Set in the castle’s Outer Bailey, the food and drinks fair is an opportunity to sample some of the area’s very best food and drink and to meet the people behind the businesses.

There’ll also be live music across the weekend.

Showcasing producers in Purbeck and across South Dorset, the two-day festival is free to attend (normal castle admission applies).

  • Timings: 10am – 5.30pm
