The new play area at Harewood will be rooted within the landscape, with local timbers, stones and even living willow creating a tactile sensory experience that connects all children with nature. Playful nods to Harewood’s rich history will be woven throughout the space. It will also be a beautiful place for every visitor to enjoy – a fun, adventurous and inspiring play space made in harmony with Harewood’s beloved landscape."

Beyond the play area
The new Adventure Playscape is the first phase of our ambitious plans to Reimagine Harewood’s historic landscapes.
We’re working with award-winning designers and architects to create inspiring new spaces around the play area, the Courtyard and South Garden and transform the Bakehouse into a new visitor centre.
Play is at the heart of our vision for Harewood, and we can’t wait to welcome new generations to create memories here.

Reimagining our Landscape
It’s our mission to protect and enhance Harewood House Trust for the benefit of you, our visitors. So from 2023 – 2033 we’ll be Reimagining our Landscape.
