Journey back to the Middle Ages at Corfe Castle with this immersive Medieval Life weekend. Meet Nichodemus the physician and his wife Ursula, whose work takes you deep into a world where medicine, religion and magic blur into one. Through lively performances and interactive storytelling, discover how people in medieval England understood time, law, money and medicine. Enjoy a programme of live shows throughout the day, including tales of sheriffs and medieval justice, the surprising importance of time and religion, and the frankly bonkers world of mad medieval medicine. Learn who you might turn to when you were ill, a doctor, a wise woman, the church, or something more mysterious. Between shows, drop into the Medieval Games Arena, open all day and packed with hands-on games inspired by the period. From simple challenges to more skill-based games, there's something for all ages. Ideal for families, history lovers and curious minds, this event brings the sights, stories and strangeness of the medieval world vividly to life at one of England's most dramatic castle ruins.

The New Famous Five and the Forgotten Treasure

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.
