Winter Solstice at Corfe Castle DECEMBER 2025

🗓️ Sunday 21st December 2025

Enjoy an early morning walk at Corfe Castle and celebrate the shortest day of the year as you watch the sun rise over East Hill from the castle ruins.

There’ll be fire pits in the castle’s Outer Bailey to keep you snug and warm, where you can have a toasted marshmallow breakfast.

The castle will be open from 7am today, so you can walk up to find your favourite spot to watch the winter solstice sunrise.

You’re welcome to bring a camping chair for added comfort.

  • Admission: Event is free; normal castle admission applies
