Experience the power, pageantry and everyday life of the Middle Ages at Corfe Castle during this action-packed Knights & Castles weekend. Meet Sir Stephen de Blenerhayset, a fearless knight always on the lookout for new squires to train, and Lady Eleanor, the true power behind the castle walls. While Sir Stephen dreams of glory on the battlefield, Lady Eleanor keeps the household running, settles disputes and quietly experiments with medieval medicines and potions.
Enjoy a lively programme of interactive live shows throughout the day. Take part in Knight School, where aspiring squires can learn what it really took to become a knight, from discipline and training to sword skills, with the chance to earn a knighthood of their own. Join in with medieval dancing, discovering how nobles celebrated at feasts and banquets, before turning your hand to engineering and warfare in the thrilling Castle Siege. Build a castle, learn how it was defended, then put it to the test with catapults and siege tactics. Explore the Medieval Games Arena, open all day and filled with hands-on games inspired by the Middle Ages.
Designed for all ages, the games range from quick and simple fun to more challenging skill-based activities. Set against the towering ruins of Corfe Castle, this immersive family-friendly event offers the perfect blend of history, play and imagination - bringing knights, castles and medieval life vividly to life.
