Esme Tse "Holdsworth House In Summer"

Esme Tse's "Holdsworth House in the Summer" showcases the majestic Holdsworth House through the vibrant and textural art of lino printing. This 210 x 297mm piece simplifies the scene into two striking colours, offering a patterned texture that captures the summer's dynamic contrast of light and shadow.

The technique lends a rhythmic quality to the representation of the manor and its gardens, turning the historic venue into a tapestry of shapes and forms. Tse's thoughtful approach to the medium results in an image that is both modern in execution and timeless in subject, presenting Holdsworth House as a nexus of tradition and contemporary artistry.

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.
