About This Event

Corfe Castle will be opening its gates from 7am to experience the rare opportunity of watching the sun rise over East Hill on the shortest day of the year from the castle ruins. Explore the ruins and keep cosy around a fire pit roasting marshmallows in the Outer Bailey. Enjoy a hot drink or pastry. Castle gates open at 7am in time for you to walk up and find the perfect spot to watch the sunrise. Bring a camping chair for added comfort. Standard admission applies, National Trust members free.
