Harrogate vegetarian café hosts art exhibitions to create ‘neighbourhood feel’
Harrogate vegetarian café, Delicious, is to host art exhibitions every month highlighting the talents of local artists.
The café, on Mayfield Grove, has only been open since June this year.
It’s owner, Olivier Roch, told the Stray Ferret that he wants it to become a hub for the local community -whether or not they are vegetarian.
Mr Roch grew up in France but has lived in Harrogate for the past 30 years and previously ran the Zinc bistro on John Street where he also used to promote local artists.
Seven artists are booked at Delicious, with a new display and opening on the last Friday of the month. The artist work is then hung on the café walls for the following four weeks. There is also a writing course on Tuesdays.
Mayfield Grove has been the scene of violent crime in recent years. Mr Roch says no area is immune from crime but believes the street is changing:
