I took my teenage son and a few of his friends there last month and we were met with very friendly and helpful staff. The facilities are superb with warm outdoor showers to wash off the mud and changing rooms next door, lockers and a snack shack with hot drinks and snacks to keep you going. We will definitely be back.

Seasons Green

An independent gift shop and gallery, supporting local, Dorset artists, as well as makers from all over the UK. We also stock some more well-known brands, and pride ourselves on finding beautiful and unusual gifts. Much of our range is inspired by flowers, plants, and the stunning local countryside of the Jurassic Coast. If you are visiting Corfe Castle, then come and see our 17c shop. Turn left at the National Trust shop in the village square - we are opposite the Church, just past the Fox Inn and the Model Village. We have gifts for gardeners, presents for men, and a children's range too. But we are probably best known for pretty, girly gifts, stationery and cards; and gorgeous home accessories. We also have a wonderful and varied collection of art, such as hand-painted driftwood; fine art; watercolours and oil paintings. Many local artists and crafters contribute work such as art glass; turned wood; ceramics and pottery; felting and needlework and all manner of quirky crafts.

This wonderful independent shop sells the most beautiful products, many made by local artists, of all types to suit any budget - gifts, cards, homeware, craft kits. Always find items I love and usually end up buying for myself! Have recently ordered a few things by click&collect which were ready the next day though they are now delivering too until they are able to re-open. A jewel of a shop in this area in a beautiful setting.
