What to do in October

Wrap up warm and join one of our stargazing evenings to enjoy the beautiful autumn constellations
Make the most of windy weather and go kite flying on the downs
Try and spot Bottlenose Dolphins and Peregrine Falcons along the Clifftop Trail
Get out your binoculars for an early morning walk, as migrant birds pass overhead - from thousands of Swallows, to rare migrants, you never know what you might find!
Make the most of sheltered, surfaced paths and stroll around Durlston historic Pleasure Grounds, for great views of Old Harry and the Isle of Wight
Durlston is a flagship venue for the Purbeck Film Festival - take a look at our events pages to see what's showing at the Castle...
Bring the kids for a half term treat and enjoy our Wild Play Trail, or go on an adventure in the woodland with our Explorer's Bags or Woodland Activity Cards
