How new play area could look at Harewood House

Construction on Harewood House's new play area would begin later this year.

Harewood House has released images of how its new play area could look - and is asking for feedback from visitors.

The estate is waiting on planning application for the new play area to be approved by Leeds City Council, with a decision set to be made later this month.

If approved, construction would begin later this year with the aim of opening by Easter 2025.

Harewood has partnered with play experts TouchWood Play and has released CGI images of the designs via social media. 

It aims for the space to be “accessible adventure and discovery for everybody.”

A spokesperson for Harewood House said:

“We’re carefully designing this play area to protect Harewood’s Grade I listed landscape and wildlife. 

“It’s a complex task, but preserving Harewood’s beauty is our top priority.”

A consultation event is being held at Harewood House on Tuesday 16th July from 11am until 1pm.
