Are you planning a shindig, hooley, kegger, shebang, shivoo, wingding…or just a plain old garden party?
Good company, good food, good weather. You really can’t beat a good garden party, whatever time of year.
So I thought I’d help you get the party started with a few ideas for those outdoor party essentials that will create the perfect party vibe in your garden.
Drinks Coolers
There really is no need to waste valuable drinking time running back to the kitchen for a top up if you have a drinks’ cooler on your patio!
Choose from an ice cooler with stand and shelf that you simply fill with ice to chill your drinks. Or your very own fridge on wheels with an electric drinks cooler complete with shelves and baskets for all your bottles and cans. Cheers!

And how about this for a bit of fun?! Why not add some glow sticks to the bottom of your ice cooler to create a spot of vibrant mood lighting. Lovely.
Outdoor Heating
After a glass or two of Sauvignon Blanc you probably won’t notice the chill as the evening draws in but it does make sense to think about outdoor heating to huddle around to keep your toes warm!
Firepits, firebowls, chimineas, braziers, patio heaters. There really is such a scorching range of outdoor heating to choose from, creating fabulous focal points that not only keep you warm but produce a great source of light too – handy as it gets darker so you can see who you’re talking to!

Barbecues
What more do you need for a great garden party than a good old barbecue? Apart from dry weather and wine that is!
Sausages, buns, burgers and baps. A party isn’t a party without the smell of burnt meat – well, in our household anyway!
So where better to bring out your inner caveman than with a gas or charcoal barbecue. Or why not try something different with a barbecue chiminea or firebowl.

Pizza Ovens
But if you fancy a change from sausages, buns, burgers and baps and feel it’s time to give your alfresco partying a new lease of life, why not make way for pizza. And that doesn’t mean a quick call to your local Domino’s!
With a choice from versatile and stylish electric pizza ovens with food safe pizza stones or fabulous wood-fired ovens that make crispy, crusty, bubbling, fluffy, gooey, smoky pizzas, this really is a fabulous addition to any garden party.

Party Arbours
Don’t let the English weather rain on your parade – or your sausages for that matter!
A party arbour is a great idea for a party and comes complete with handy tables or shelves that are just what you need for those barbecue essentials.

Perfect to get the entertaining started with a cocktail or three.
