Chloe Marsh "Wedding In The Garden"

Chloe Marsh's "A Wedding in the Garden" perfectly encapsulates the joy and vibrancy that Holdsworth House is known for, particularly through its bustling wedding scene. As the winner of the under-18s category, Chloe, at just nine years old, has illustrated the hotel's gardens filled with festivities and cheerful gatherings that mirror the 120 weddings the venue hosts annually.

Through her acrylic work, Chloe expresses a childlike wonder and happiness that resonates with the heart of Holdsworth House's wedding celebrations. Her artwork is a tribute to the manor's spirit of love and community, capturing the essence of what makes it a special and sought-after destination for couples on their special day. This piece not only represents a beautiful moment in time but also underscores the significance of Holdsworth House as a backdrop to the memories cherished by families for years to come.

Our Gentleman Cat

Eric is the resident cat at Holdsworth House Hotel & Restaurant in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Adopted as a stray, he has become a firm favourite with our guests. He's always on hand to welcome new arrivals and has been known to photobomb wedding shots!

He can generally be found in the hotel reception welcoming guests.

The fantastic "Gentleman Cat' illustration was created by illustrator Jo Bird and inspired by the BBC/HBO TV costume drama Gentleman Jack that was filmed nearby.
