Peter Clark, managing partner at Graysons, said: “We’ve had the privilege of being involved in Art in The Gardens since 2019 and this year must surely rank as one of the best. It was a real pleasure to be able to help stage such an important event in the city’s arts’ calendar once again. It’s a wonderful celebration of the outstanding talent in the region.”

Art In The Gardens is widely recognised as the largest event of its kind in the region.

Visitors included Sheffield Lord Mayor and Phil Oakey of the Human League.
