Medieval Mayhem
(Corfe Castle)

🗓️ Saturday 3rd – Monday 5th May 2025

There’s medieval fun for all the family to be had at Corfe Castle this Bank Holiday weekend.

Explore, adventure and get hands-on with history at the castle ruin, where there’ll be live music, garden games and a fun family quest.

Kids can have a go at creating Lego models of the castle, dance around the ‘disco maypole’ and dress up as a medieval knight, princess or peasant across weekend.

Plus, there’ll be live music from the combined Dorchester and Bridport Rock Choirs on Sunday 4th May.

And the whole family can challenge each other to Corfe Castle’s traditional garden games, which include archery and welly-wanging.
