Gleeson Homes hosts art competition with Hetton Lyons Primary School

Gleeson Homes and Blocc Interiors celebrate local talent at Lyons Edge development

Gleeson Homes, in collaboration with Blocc Interiors, proudly announced the successful conclusion of an inspiring art competition held in partnership with Hetton Lyons Primary School.

This initiative formed part of the launch of the new Lyons Edge development in South Hetton, whereby three new show homes have recently opened to the public.

In October 2024, Gleeson Homes and Blocc Interiors collaborated with Hetton Lyons Primary School to host an art competition for the new Lyons Edge development. The competition invited schoolchildren to create A4 or A3 artwork based on a jungle theme, intended for display in the show homes’ jungle themed bedroom.

Three standout pieces were selected and are now proudly exhibited in the show homes, with all participants receiving prizes for their efforts. The project offered a fantastic opportunity for Gleeson to connect with the local community, demonstrating its commitment to community engagement initiatives within the areas in which Gleeson is building.

“We are thrilled to showcase the wonderful artwork from Hetton Lyons Primary School in our recently launched show homes. This initiative reflects our dedication to supporting and engaging with the communities where we build."

Emily Turner, Sales Manager at Gleeson Homes

“Working with the children of Hetton Lyons Primary School has been a delightful experience. Their creativity has brought a unique charm to the show homes at Lyons Edge, making them truly special and we hope they are proud to see their creations on display.”

Sarah Cave, Sales Manager at Blocc Interiors

The unique artwork is now proudly on display in the show homes at Lyons Edge, with visitors able to experience the vibrant and imaginative contributions of the local students.
