Film: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PG)

Film: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PG) at Corfe Castle

After last year’s sold out success, we bring you the second in the eternally popular Harry Potter series, to be enjoyed in the moonlit bailey of Corfe Castle. In his second term as a pupil-wizard, Harry must face off against a medusa-like creature that can petrify from its evil eye.

We are thrilled to be back for the first of two screenings at National Trust Corfe Castle to enjoy a magical evening of cinema under the stars at this thousand-year-old royal castle.

Put on your wizarding cape, procure your wand, and join us for an enchanting summer evening of Harry Potter!
