Temple Newsam House
With a National Art Pass you get
Temple Newsam House in Leeds is one of the great English historic country houses, sometimes referred to as the 'Hampton Court Palace of the North'.
This fine Tudor-Jacobean mansion on the outskirts of Leeds lies in 1,500 acres of parkland landscaped by 'Capability' Brown. Its name refers to the Knights Templar, who once owned the lands. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and diverse activities, it offers something for everyone.
Historic house
The house has been extensively restored and holds some of the most comprehensive collections of paintings, furniture, silver, ceramics, textiles and wallpapers outside London. Wander through the historic rooms, including the Picture Gallery and the Chinese Drawing Room, each with its own unique character and furnishings.
Luscious landscape
The expansive grounds, landscaped by Capability Brown, feature beautiful gardens, woodlands, and a lake. Throughout the year, the grounds provide an ideal setting for open air concerts and fairs.
Home Farm
The working farm is one of the largest rare breed centres in Europe. Get up close to your favourite farmyard friends including lambs, piglets, geese, guinea pigs and more. On special event days enjoy crafts, activities and demonstrations suitable for all the whole family.
Fun for all ages
Temple Newsam hosts an array of things to do for children and families, including dressing up in period costume, following a trail or taking part in the extra special activities hosted in school holidays. Let off some steam in the adventure playground, or the more adventurous can try out aerial adventures at Go Ape.
Temple Newsam House is a fantastic destination for history buffs, art lovers, and families seeking a memorable day out.
