Temple Newsam, a historic estate in Leeds run by Leeds Museums and Galleries, is hired as a wedding venue, a filming location and a setting for private events, meetings, conferences and team-building days. The house offers a Dining Room for smaller events and meetings, and a Picture Gallery and a Great Hall for larger events and conferences. The park can be hired separately for concerts, fundraisers and sporting events.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists meeting rooms and conferences as a separate offer. The Dining Room suits smaller events and meetings. The Picture Gallery and the Great Hall suit larger events and conferences. The pages read give no room sizes, capacities by layout, equipment or catering, so ask the team for a technical sheet. Because the house and park belong to Leeds Museums and Galleries, venue hire is handled by a museum team that also runs the visitor programs, so ask which days the house is closed to the public and whether a meeting can take place on those days. Team-building days can be arranged in Leeds on the estate, which also has a golf and activity park, a farm and play barn, gardens, a park and lakes.
Weddings and receptions
Temple Newsam promotes weddings with its country house, rolling parkland and gardens, and the site has a weddings page and a life events page for milestone celebrations. The pages read give no wedding capacities.

Catering
