The castle was a busy hub of activity during the medieval period with houses, workshops and stables all within the castle walls. Focusing on this era, the artefacts reveal intricate details of everyday life at the castle 800 years ago. Look out for the cheater’s dice, tweezers, a bone flute, personal adornments and other intriguing everyday items. This is your chance to see these tiny ancient objects up close, sparking your imagination about the people who once made and used them. This exhibition is located in Castle View, our Welcome Centre.

Are you ready for an adventure worthy of the New Famous Five? Whether you arrive with a team of budding explorers or a family eager for a new challenge, The New Famous Five and the Forgotten Treasure quest brings Corfe Castle to life in a fun and imaginative way. Solve clues, crack puzzles and uncover hidden secrets as you explore the ruins. We've teamed up with Blyton Books to bring this playful quest to life. On your quest, you might guide a ball through a twisty maze, figure out which key unlocks the padlock, step inside a spooky cool mock burial chamber or spot the map that just doesn't look quite right. And don't forget to take a fun photo at our face in the hole board before you head home. Whether you're climbing, exploring or solving clues together, this adventure is all about having fun and helping your team, just like the New Famous Five. The adventure continues across the Isle of Purbeck. The trail visits Studland during May half term and Brownsea Island during October half term. Complete all three quests to win a small prize.
