Once upon a time… traditional tales and rhymes

Join us for extra events and activities across the estate during the summer school holidays.

Once upon a time there was a place called Temple Newsam where hundreds of stories could be told. Join us this summer as we tell traditional tales and rhymes. Explore the house and farm and take part in themed activities and crafts.
