Historic 11th century English castle plays host to first-ever Holi celebrations

London, (PTI) A historic 11th century castle in south-west England played host to a first of its kind Holi celebrations, attracting over 3,000 people who transformed its grounds into a field of colour.

Corfe Castle in Dorset, cared for by the National Trust charity, was chosen as the site by the local Bournemouth Poole Christchurch (BPC) Indian Community to organise the ‘Rang Barse’ event, with the help of GoldRain Exclusive Events, last weekend.

The National Trust, which oversees heritage conservation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, hopes the event would also shine a light on the castle which was founded by William the Conqueror in 1066.
