Away from the jubilee street parties Temple Newsam really was the place to be in Leeds over the long bank holiday weekend.
In our fan galleries, we did see some patriotic spirit here and there but Slam Dunk, The Music’s headline show and new festival Live at Leeds: In the Park were the perfect events to switch off from the pomp and ceremony. With such beautiful surroundings, Temple Newsam has proved once again it is a great place to enjoy live music.
Obviously, way back when, Temple Newsam was the home of Leeds Festival before it moved to Bramham Park and it has been such a welcome boost to the big event offering (coronavirus cancellations aside) in Leeds to see the venue’s stature continue to grow in recent years. Pop-punk alternative rock festival Slam Dunk moved from Leeds city centre to Temple Newsam back in 2019.
