This summer, Temple Newsam House bursts into bloom with Plant Power!

Come and explore, create and discover with a whole mix of playful, plant‑themed activities throughout the house:

See giant paper‑flower sculptures by artist Andy Singleton and help the display grow all summer by adding your own crafted bloom to the installation. Follow the plant‑spotting trail and get hands‑on with plant‑themed crafts including making paper flowers, leafy crowns and fun boppers to wear around the house and gardens.

Explore real plants up close: Look at seeds, leaves and textures under magnifiers and discover how plants were used in the past, from healing to household essentials.

Create a beautiful 3D Still Life inspired by our stunning art works, or design and build your own LEGO garden (every day).

There will also be special artist-led workshops including willow‑flower sculpture and clay creations (Wednesdays & Saturdays 1 - 3pm).

Free house entry for children on Tuesdays (1 free child per each paid for adult ticket).
