Lord of Misrule Story Telling
Returning this year for daytime tours is Corfe Castle’s very own Lord of Misrule. Far back in the mists of history, at the darkest time of the year, the Lord of Misrule was chosen to oversee the fun and frivolity of the Christmas feast.
Take a step back to the 17th century, where our very own Lord of Misrule will take you on an interactive journey through the ruins of the castle and teach you the games, dances, stories and Christmas traditions of days gone by.
