Enjoy a special treat with afternoon tea sat on the South Terrace, taking in the gorgeous gardens and park.

For just a few days in 2025 we are offering a stunning and unique experience, afternoon tea on the beautiful south terrace of Temple Newsam!

Our brand new Afternoon tea experience offers you a chance to take in Jane Austen-worthy gardens, whilst enjoying a traditional afternoon tea of sandwiches and a scone, served with a pot of tea or coffee. You can make it an extra special treat by upgrading to a glass of fizz for only £5.

Your ticket includes general entry to the historic house, offering a chance to explore 500 years of history and one of the best collections of decorative arts outside of the V&A museum in London.

We've have our fingers crossed for sunshine - but don't worry, if the weather is bad, we will enjoy a typical English summer exprience in the Great Hall!

£25 per person, add a glass of fizz for £5 (18+ only).

We will try to accommodate dietary requirements but due to the nature of the event options may be limited. Please email temple.newsam.house@leeds.gov.uk if you have dietary requirements that you would like to discuss.
