Who are The English Art Co?
The English Art Co is run by Catriona Moore and her husband David Lyon, and is based in the Conservatory at The Mansion. David is an artist himself, and together they focus on supporting artists from the UK through providing a vibrant outlet in which to to sell high quality unique gifts, prints and much more.
Why Roundhay Park?
The Conservatory at The Mansion is the ideal space – with plenty of natural daylight to display the artwork, it really is a joy to spend time looking around! The Park of course is a source of much inspiration for local artists in particular, and there is even a Roundhay Park Calendar available in the shop. It’s packed full of beautiful images and has been produced by the Friends of Roundhay Park, a local charity who actively protect, preserve and improve the facilities of the park.
Art Roundhay Park
We know that many of our Garden Room regulars love to visit the Gallery in the Conservatory and vice versa. The next step was to create events that combine Art and Roundhay Park with great food and drink – a perfect combination!
