GETTING HERE

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.
