Renaissance artist Botticelli was the inspiration behind Aireville School’s Christmas display at Skipton Tesco.
Every year, Tesco stores across the country invite schools to create a festive display for their entrances.
This year, Aireville was chosen to create the display at the Skipton store.
The festive fireplace was created by the school’s Arts and Crafts Enrichment Group using traditional Christmas colours red and green.
And it also includes angels based on the work of the Italian painter, Sandro Botticelli.
The fireplace is surrounded by 12 tiles, representing the 12 days of Christmas.
