Hear about the powerful and influential people that have lived at Temple Newsam.
…dashed… is a playful, thoughtful, walking, experience in which failure is as likely as success. As we walk, attention shifts from possible outcomes to what happens along the way.
Ok, the idea…
We drop a small, bright, engineered, log into the river. Together, we follow the log’s lead, along the path next to the river as it’s carried by the flow. I guess we will will it on. Perhaps the log will snag, sink, or get caught in eddies. It can outstrip us or, make us move at a crawl pace. We might lose it altogether.
Hope. Let’s see.

We have linked up with Leeds Civic Trust this LGBT History Month for a walking tour of locations and venues integral to the LGBTQ+ community of Leeds. LGBT History Month's theme for 2025 is activism and social change and we think it's important to know where a community has come from to help it get to where it needs to go.
