Temple Newsam Food Festival: A Summertime Feast

Temple Newsam's Tudor-Jacobean house makes a genuinely handsome backdrop for a weekend of street food, live music and fairground rides across its parkland — international stalls alongside kids' cooking classes for the ones who'd rather make than just eat.

Big enough to fill an afternoon, small enough not to feel like a theme park — and the deer park and rare-breed farm are both right there if you want to turn it into a full day.
