Despite an unusually wet and blustery spell, with gale-force winds and below-average temperatures for late May, summer is firmly on its way, with a heatwave forecast for the late May bank holiday weekend and beyond. With that in mind, many of us are doing our utmost to get our gardens and outdoor spaces primed for entertaining and barbecues as the warmer weather approaches.
For those who relish dining al fresco whenever the weather allows, we’ve unearthed a fantastic deal on a six seater set that’s perfectly suited for smaller and larger gatherings. Shoppers can save £100 on Charlies’ Wild Garden York 6 Seater Steel Garden Furniture Dining Set With 2.7m Parasol.
Priced at £299, reduced from £399, the set seats six people comfortably, and comprises supportive textilene chairs, a generously sized dining table, and a matching parasol. Boasting a sophisticated, sleek design, the table features a glass top – making it effortless to clean – alongside a wood grain finish for ‘a subtle touch of warmth’.
Its standout feature, however, is arguably the accompanying parasol. Measuring 2.7m, the parasol incorporates a handy crank and tilt mechanism, allowing users to adjust it swiftly and effortlessly for optimum shade coverage.
Despite seating six, the dining set has drawn praise from shoppers for being ‘perfect for daily use’ in a ‘small garden’. One customer noted: “I have a small garden, so this furniture is perfect for daily use and also when entertaining family and friends. Table and chairs are sturdy and comfortable.” One important consideration is that it cannot be folded away, meaning it will need to remain outdoors throughout the year.
For those looking to inject more vibrancy into their outdoor area, Dunelm’s Bergen Round Bistro Table with 2 Alma Armchairs is available in multiple shades from Chilli Red to Avocado Green and retails at £249. Looking for something slightly more cushioned? Habitat’s Habitat Scoop 2 Seater Metal Garden Bistro Set, £180, arrives in an olive green colourway and boasts a pair of curved steel chairs topped with plump cushions, plus a compact round table.
For those seeking something a touch more luxurious to complement their outdoor space, Charlies has slashed £200 off its Wild Garden Chester 9 Seater Aluminium Reclining Garden Furniture Corner Dining Set, now available for £1,499.99 rather than £1,699.99.
Perfect for larger gardens, the set comprises a modular corner sofa, a reclining armchair, and a practical bench. Accommodating up to 10 guests with ease, the high-backed seating boasts premium reclining functionality, while the modular sofa can be effortlessly reconfigured to suit any outdoor arrangement.
This also makes it equally well-suited for lounging in the sun or entertaining family and friends at dinner. The set arrives complete with a ceramic glass-topped table and light grey cushions that provide an elegant contrast to its robust aluminium frame, finished in a deep charcoal powder coat.
