The concept, if it all goes smoothly is excellent. The customer… Read more →

Double helping of art

Double helping of art

We experienced two incredible and quite unique pieces of Yorkshire Art this weekend. The first being in the form of a play at Harrogate Theatre on Friday night. The Lighthouse on Shivering Sands.
