Seeking approval to procure a specialist contractor to deliver construction works including fixtures and fittings at Temple Newsam for an indoor Playbarn

This decision is to authorise the procurement of a contractor to deliver construction works including fixtures and fittings to Temple Newsam for an indoor play barn.

Authority to spend was approved by the Executive Board in September 2020 to develop plans for an indoor play barn with integrated café along with a new entrance (incorporating a retail facility) utilising the old cow byre set in the core of the historic buildings at Home Farm, Temple Newsam.

Delivering this project will be an opportunity to conserve and transform this heritage building to improve visitor experience all year round.
