An Unforgettable Artistic Affair
Saunts Hosts The Turner Prize Ceremony
At Saunts, we were honoured and proud to be the exclusive caterers for the distinguished 2017 Turner Prize Awards. This prestigious event, held at the magnificent Hull Minster, was a highlight of the City of Culture celebrations, attracting art enthusiasts, esteemed guests, and art-world luminaries from around the globe.
Celebrating Artistic Excellence with The Turner Prize
The Turner Prize, renowned worldwide as one of the most prestigious art awards, is bestowed by TATE to an exceptional artist who exhibited outstanding work in the preceding year. In 2017, the deserving recipient of this coveted prize was the talented Lubaina Himid, whose remarkable contributions to the art world were celebrated that evening.
A Culinary Journey
Guests attending The Turner Event were treated to a culinary journey curated by Saunts. Our team of culinary artists designed an exquisite menu, inspired by the creativity and vision of the artists vying for the prestigious prize. Each dish was a masterpiece, skillfully blending flavors and textures to tantalize the senses.
