Damien Hirst put £20,000 of his winnings on a free bar after his Turner Prize Win, The Spice Girls had their membership denied and Stephen Fry banned mobile phones in the bar.These are just some of the famous tales surrounding The Groucho Club which will land in the heart of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2026.
Bretton Hall College helped transform the estate in West Yorkshire where the Yorkshire Sculpture park now sits - developing a range of creative talent from writer Kay Mellor to playwright John Goldber.

” Kevin expects the three-year project will lead to a “groundswell” of improvement in the region, attracting people who don’t normally leave London. He said: “There’s plans to be a hotel with 40 bedrooms as well as The Groucho Club.” Kevin said the hotel and its restaurant will be part members only and partly open to the public. “They chose here because of us,” said Kevin, who moved up from London last July to take on his role.
