With royal connections and surrounding Capability Brown landscaping, this venue is one for the history books This magnificent Tudor-Jacobean country house, steeped in history and grandeur, dates back to the 1500s. It has been described as the Hampton Court of the North as it too has royal connections, as the birthplace of the notorious Lord Darnley, the husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. The venue is gloriously situated within 1,500 acres of Capability Brown landscape including stunning parkland, formal gardens, and intimate lakeside locations. The venue feels wonderfully rural, being surrounded by countryside, yet it’s conveniently situated just four miles from Leeds city centre and two miles from the M1. In the 16th century, The Great Hall was used for feasting and celebrations, so where could be more fitting to hold your ceremony or wedding breakfast than in this magnificent room? It comfortably accommodates up to 100 guests for both the ceremony and sit-down meal. The Great Hall leads straight from the central courtyard to create an immediate wow factor and there’s a secret door that leads to the South Terrace offering the perfect spot for a drinks reception and photographs. Also leading off The Great Hall is The Dining Room, which is the perfect location for an intimate ceremony for up to 40 nearest and dearest or 30 seated to dine. Lined in oak panelling, this is a majestic room overlooked by a spectacular heraldic overmantel bearing the arms of Mary, Queen of Scots. Yours will be the only wedding at Temple Newsam on your chosen day and, for the time you’re there, you and your guests will have exclusive access to your ceremony space and the stunning oak staircase.
