Here comes summer!

At last! The sun is shining, UEFA Euro 2024 is underway, Bridgerton summer-style is in full swing and it's almost time for schools to break up.  Get out in the garden and enjoy the glorious sunshine; it's time to kick back and relax with our top picks for lounging and entertaining in your outdoor spaces.

If relaxing in the sun with friends and delicious food is on your to-do list then the Kettler Palma corner sofa will work perfectly.  Available in left hand configuration, you'll have a choice of tables to complete the set including slat-top and firepit options all in their popular whitewash finish.

If corner isn't your style, you might like the Palma Sofa set; a three seater sofa with two comfy armchairs plus two stools, so you can set it up exactly how you'd like it.  We currently have this at a great value in-store Manager's Special price of £1,599 - a saving of £400 on the recommended price - for the sofa set including matching glass top table.  Talk to Duane or Helen in our Bridport store to take advantage of this deal.

Next on our most-wanted list, we all know food tastes better al fresco but sometimes the effort of getting everything set up outside can take away from the spontaneity. Kettler Cafe Roma Set with Cushions

Stay meal-time ready with the durable Cafe Roma Bistro set from Kettler.  Their metal comes with a 3-year anti-rust warranty for peace of mind, and both the table and chairs are foldable for easy storage.  The chic slate grey cushions are included in the set, bringing a touch of italian style to your garden - not to mention lovely memories of summer holidays on the continent!

Or the Kettler Savita dining sets might suit you well, it's certainly proving a very popular choice this season.  Available in a 4 or 6 seater option, the understated stylish design will complement any garden space - sturdy enough for all weathers and the chairs stack neatly out of the way when you're not using them.Norfolk Leisure Beeston 4 Seat Dining Set - image 1

For a contemporary, lightweight option, consider the Beeston dining set from Norfolk Leisure.  The modern aluminium frames are designed to be outside all year round, they are solid and robust with great corrosion resistance.  The Norfolk collection easy-care cushions are also shower resistant, so a spot of rain needn't stop plans, as well as being extremely comfortable.

If the weather stays warm, you might want to go for an outdoor kitchen setup, in which case our range of Ooni pizza ovens, Weber barbecues and Kadai firebowls are ideal - offering flexibility and a quick and easy teatime for spur of the moment entertaining.

Of course, much as the sunshine is welcomed, it's also important to have shady spots too.  Our range of outdoor parasols and shades, along with bases, covers all budgets and makes sure you can sit outside and still stay cool all summer through.
