Welcome to the website for the Friends of Temple Newsam Park. Since 1999 we’ve been working to improve and protect its many acres of parkland, gardens, wildlife, farmland, historical buildings and more for today and for years to come.
Over the past 25 years our membership has grown to include people from across the city and country, and we continue to raise funds and hold a variety of events to support Temple Newsam Park.
We thank all members for their support and we hope you will continue by renewing your membership and, apart from helping the Friends look after the interests of the Park and House, there are great benefits for the annual £8 fee. Click here to renew by debit/credit card or contact Julie Caslin at juliecaslin@googlemail.com or phone 0113 3455798.

SUNDAY VOLUNTEERING AT TEMPLE NEWSAM
Got some free time on the 1st Sunday each month…..then why don’t you become one of our Sunday volunteering team? Read all about it.
Some images from Sunday 1st September – removing debris left by August gales.
Our appreciation and thanks to all the organisations and donors who have made it possible to raise £30,000 to replace 4 of the well used but aging mobility scooters that enable those with restricted mobility to enjoy the Park. Alison Gledhill is the first user on one of our new scooters.

Anti social behaviour in the park is vexing many of us. Need to report an anti-social incident? You can report details at this web address https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/report-it.
There was a public consultation available until the 12th August 2022 giving persons a chance to comment on the possibility of a PSPO. The order is designed to give the police and the authority’s anti-social behaviour team more powers to deal with anti-social behaviour related to motor vehicles – hopefully helping to reduce some of the issues that we have in parks. The link provides an introduction with more details before going on to the actual consultation. https://www.leeds.gov.uk/antisocial-behaviour-and-crime/public-spaces-protection-orders/vehicular-nuisance-pspo
