The event is at Temple Newsam in Leeds (LS15 0AE).
Four miles east of Leeds City Centre, Temple Newsam grounds are set in the grand shadow of the Grade 1, Tudor-Jacobean building, in landscapes curated by Capability Brown. It is one of the cities most popular parks, which we will gladly illuminate during the darkest months of the year.
Just 15 minutes drive from Leeds City Centre, Temple Newsam is ideally located just 5 minutes away from Junction 46 of the M1 motorway.
Access to Northern Lights Leeds by car is via Temple Newsam Road only. There is no access via Colton Road.

There will be onsite parking with accessible spaces. Disabled parking spots are on a first come, first serve basis, we have a traffic management team that will help you park in the most suitable bay we can, should you need to park closer to the event entrance.
