    Yorkshire artist Lucy Pittaway is to open a new gallery on Prospect Place in Harrogate.

    The award-winning artist is taking over the space formerly occupied by menswear store Austin Reed which closed its doors in 2016 and has stayed empty until now.

    The new premises will be Ms Pittaway's fifth solo art gallery and will offer original works of art as well as prints, homeware and stationery.

    Her best known works are her signature sheep art and her work on the Tour de Yorkshire and UCI World Championships in Harrogate.

    She said moving into Harrogate was always part of her business plan:

    “We evaluated the town as part of our growth plans a number of years ago and just had to wait for the right time.”

    The store will welcome customers at its opening weekend on Saturday and Sunday, November 5 and 6.

    Opening times will follow those of other stores which can be found here.
