North Yorkshire-based artist Lucy Pittaway is ready to open the doors at her debut Harrogate gallery this weekend.

The gallery, which sells original works of art as well as prints, homeware and stationery, had a preview night last night.

The shop replaces the former menswear shop Austin Reed on Prospect Place, which had been empty since 2016.

It's been a long wait for Ms Pittaway, who has had her eyes on a site in Harrogate for five years.

Speaking to the Stray Ferret ahead of tomorrow's official opening, she said:

"We have been wanting to be in Harrogate for some time now but we are finally here, and in an absolutely fabulous location.
"The response we have had from local businesses and shoppers has been amazing. We are absolutely thrilled with the interest we have seen already.
"It wasn't easy but we have managed to get this space turned around in just three weeks which is a testament to our amazing team. I feel very proud looking around."

Ms Pittaway's best known works are her signature sheep art and her work on the Tour de Yorkshire and UCI Road World Championships in Harrogate.

The Harrogate store will be open Monday to Saturday from 9.30pm to 5.30pm and from 10am to 5pm on Sundays.

A number of promotions are in the pipeline for Christmas and various other initiatives are also on the horizon, including a meet-the-artist event and debut showings of original pieces of art.
