Tea on the Terrace
Join us for a delightful cream tea served in the historic surroundings of one of Leeds’ most treasured estates.
Enjoy freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, all accompanied by a pot of Yorkshire tea or freshly brewed coffee.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, this is the perfect way to experience the charm and grandeur of Temple Newsam.
If the weather is good, you will be served on the south Terrace, if it rains you will be served in the majestic Great Hall, either way this promises to be a memorable experience.
