A Special Mother’s Day Lunch

Liverpool loves to celebrate Mother’s Day and on Sunday March 10th the city will be in full bloom for mums who are, mums to be and mums who were and their families.

Chef Patron Paul Askew and his team have created this spring’s A Special Mother’s Day Lunch inspired by the dawning new season and the wonderful produce available across the region, sourced from local independent farms, artisans and cultivators. There’s also a junior’s menu for under 12s so all family members can experience The Art School for Mother’s Day. The Art School Cellars is also offering a Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea service downstairs. The Moriarty Room will also be open for extra bookings or a bigger family wishing to have the whole space.

2024 is The Art School’s biggest year as in September Paul and his team will reach their 10th anniversary. Mother’s Day is very much a part of the overall celebrations making this edition the most anticipated to date and the perfect place to celebrate.
