As part of Leeds 2023, internationally admired artists Lucy & Jorge Orta are hosting a special meal with communities on Harewood’s Terrace. Harewood House invites you to be their guest and get involved with the Big Garden Party in the grounds of Harewood House.
Eat, drink and come together as part of the Harewood community, enjoying special activities, pop-up street food and live entertainment. Together we will appreciate the way that food crosses generations, cultures and continents.
