The Tudor-Jacobean mansion house of Temple Newsam dates back to the 1500s and has been described as the Hampton Court of the North because of its royal connections. Set within 1,500 acres of Capability Brown-designed landscape, guests will find rolling parkland, formal gardens and pretty lakeside spots. With its rich history and more than 40 rooms brimming with treasures such as Chippendale furniture, ceramics and fine art, it has something to suit all interests. The quirky interiors include grand halls, light-filled dressing rooms and a grand Gothic wooden staircase. TIME TO CELEBRATE! Ceremonies can be held in three impressive locations. The 16 th - century Great Hall (100 guests) was once used for feasting and celebrations, so couldn’t be more fitting for weddings. A secret door leads to the South Terrace for fabulous drinks receptions. The Dining Room (40 guests) is a majestic oak-panelled space overlooked by a spectacular heraldic overmantle bearing the arms of Mary Queen of Scots. The quirky Still Room (40 guests) offers an intimate option for those couples seeking something a little out of the ordinary. A short walk from the house is the Walled Garden Marquee (160 guests). The perfect location for a wedding breakfast and reception, it’s fully lined, has chandeliers, accent lighting and indoor cloakroom and catering facilities. Alternatively, couples can choose to have a marquee erected on the West Lawn, which is adjacent to the house. WE LOVE… Guests will love exploring the house with its incredible collection of historic artefacts from all over the world. chrismilnerphotography.com chrismilnerphotography.com 
