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 renewal fee of £8 . Contact Julie Caslin at juliecaslin@googlemail.com or phone 0113 3455798.

Summer Solstice Ceilidh event cancelled
We regret to inform you that this month’s Summer Solstice Ceilidh has been cancelled due to low ticket sales. We are disappointed as the last few years we have been close to 100 people and have been great nights.
Thank you to those people who did buy tickets and supported us, this was not an easy decision to take.
Everyone who bought tickets, you should receive an email and will be issued a refund shortly.
We will be organising the Autumn event as usual and hope that this event is more successful.
Any feedback is welcome as to why ticket sales haven’t been as expected and thoughts on how the event might change for future events.

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.
