View all →About This Event
Explore the ruins of Corfe Castle lit under warm glowing lights with the stars above you. Gather around a fire pit to toast marshmallows whilst catching up with friends or family. Enjoy a hot drink or mulled wine from local cafe, The Goat. Braziers and festoon lights will illuminate the paths but we recommend you bring a torch with you for the walk from the car park and to spot uneven ground in the ruins. The castle will be open until 8pm, weather permitting. Last entry will be at 7:15pm.
