Explore Temple Newsam House as you’ve never seen it before. Our exclusive Rooftop and Cellar Tour invites you into the hidden spaces of one of Britain’s finest historic houses.

The experience starts with and introduction to this stunning house and collections. 

You will then go behind the scenes and descend to the depths! Venture below ground into the atmospheric cellars, where servants once bustled, and secrets linger in the shadows. Discover how these spaces were used over the centuries. 

If the weather allows ascend to the rooftop. Climb to the top of the house for breathtaking views across the estate and Leeds skyline. Learn about the largest external inscription in Britain and view it from a unique angle.  Take photos of the views or simply enjoy this exclusive experience.  Once down from the roof enjoy refreshments in the Dining Room.

This behind-the-scenes tour offers a rare glimpse into areas not usually open to the public.
