Easter Holidays: Hats off to History
Step into a world of whimsy and wonder as Temple Newsam tips its hat to the past with a fabulous family event celebrating all things headwear!
Enjoy a family day out at Temple Newsam House.
From bonnets to bowlers, fascinators to flat caps — discover the stories behind the hats that shaped fashion through the ages. Try on historic styles, craft your own creative headpiece, and join in our Hat Parade through the grand halls of the house!
Whether you’re a top hat traditionalist or a beanie enthusiast, there’s something for everyone. So grab your favourite hat — or make one on the day — and join us for a day of fun, fashion, and family memories. No hat? No problem! We’ve got plenty to share.
Crafts, activities, and trails included in normal admission fees. During normal opening hours.
