Summer is the perfect time to host a garden party. The warm weather and longer days create an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. Whether you’re planning a casual get-together or a more formal affair, transforming your garden into a welcoming space for guests can be both fun and rewarding. Here are some decorating and entertaining tips to help you host the perfect summer garden party.
Create Comfortable Seating Areas
One of the key elements of any successful garden party is comfortable seating. Create inviting spaces where guests can relax and enjoy each other’s company.
Our range of outdoor furniture includes stylish and durable options that cater to various garden sizes and themes. Consider a cosy outdoor sofa set for a lounging area or a chic dining table and chairs for a more formal setting. Our pieces are weather-resistant and designed for comfort, ensuring your guests can relax in style.

Add Warmth with Throws and Cushions
Even summer evenings can get a bit chilly. Adding throws and cushions not only provides warmth but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your garden party setup.
Choose from our selection of vibrant and cosy throws and cushions. These accessories can be strategically placed on chairs, benches, or even the ground to create a bohemian lounge area. Mix and match patterns and colours to reflect the theme of your party and add a touch of personality.

Set the Mood with Lighting
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the right ambiance for your garden party. From soft fairy lights to bold lanterns, the right lighting can transform your garden into a magical evening retreat.
Explore our collection of outdoor solar lighting, including string lights, garden lamps, and elegant lanterns. Hang string lights around trees, along fences, or above seating areas to cast a warm, inviting glow. Lanterns can be placed on tables or along pathways to guide guests and add a touch of sophistication.

Enhance the Atmosphere with a Fire Pit
A fire pit not only provides warmth but also serves as a focal point for your garden party. It encourages guests to gather around, share stories, and enjoy the evening outdoors.
Our range of fire pits comes in various styles and sizes to suit any garden. A fire pit not only adds ambiance but also allows for fun activities like roasting marshmallows.

BBQ
We have high-quality charcoal in stock for all your BBQ needs! Whether you’re planning a summer cookout or a cosy backyard gathering, our charcoal ensures your grill heats evenly and imparts that perfect smoky flavour to your food. Ideal for everything from juicy steaks and burgers to grilled veggies and seafood.
Elevate your garden party with a Broxton BBQ Shelter and stay dry if it rains. This versatile and elegant addition to your outdoor space offers numerous benefits, ensuring your gatherings are enjoyable regardless of the weather.
