MURDER MYSTERY WALK BY THE CORFE CASTLE RUINS
7pm on Wed July 19th & 26th and August 2nd, 9th & 16th 2023.
Yes, it’s back! And even better! The highly acclaimed Double Act Murder Mystery Walks are back this summer.
The starting point is in the North Castle Field, opposite the National Trust Welcome Centre car park, just north of the Corfe Castle ruins on the A351. We have permission for our customers to use this car park for the evening.
What could be more atmospheric for a murder mystery than a twilight walk in the shadow of the ruins of the great castle?
However, the walk will involve steep rough paths and long grass and although we will finish before dark for safety reasons, anyone taking part does so at their own risk.
Due to the popularity of the past walks and a necessity to restrict numbers for safety, it is strongly recommended that early bookings be made by purchasing tickets from www.ticketsource.co.uk/double-act-drama-group
Tickets are just £5 a head (under 5’s free).
The year is 1330 and a young Edward III rules England but under the ‘protection’ of his mother, Isabella and her lover Mortimer. His father, Edward II was unpopular and, after an uprising led by his estranged wife, had been deposed from the throne and kept imprisoned at various castles before apparently being murdered in an extremely unpleasant way at Berkley Castle. But then a rumour started that the old king was still held prisoner at Corfe Castle and his brother Edmund dispatched a Friar to Corfe to investigate. What did he find out?
Was it all political subterfuge? Was Edward II still alive or was it his ghost?
All will be revealed along with many other surprises at Corfe Castle on
Wednesdays 19th, 26th July & 2nd, 9th & 16th August 2023 at 7pm.
An experience not to be missed!
