As the May bank holidays approach, it's time to seize the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your own garden. Whether you have a sprawling green space or a cosy patio, there are endless possibilities for creating memorable moments with family and friends.


At White Stores, we're passionate about helping you transform your outdoor space into a haven for relaxation, fun, and good times. Here are some tips to make the most of your bank holiday weekend in your garden.


Prepare the outdoors.

Before the long weekend arrives, take some time to prepare your garden. Clean up any mess left from the winter months, mow the lawn, and tidy up your flower beds to welcome back the bees and butterflies.

If you haven't already, now is the perfect time to invest in quality garden furniture. Assess the needs of your garden, and how you use your outdoor space, and that will help with your purchasing decisions. Not too sure, we’ve created a handy shopping guide to make this easy.

Set the scene for outdoor fun.

Once your garden is primed and ready, it's time to set the scene for a weekend of outdoor fun. Arrange your garden furniture to create inviting seating areas where you can relax and unwind with loved ones.

Make sure you’ve got lots of places for your guests to put drinks and snacks, like coffee tables. Consider adding garden accessories like cushions, throws, and outdoor rugs to add warmth and personality to your space.

If you're expecting a crowd, invest in a spacious dining set where you can gather for alfresco meals and lively conversations.

Fire up the BBQ.

No bank holiday weekend would be complete without a sizzling BBQ feast (even if the rain does appear). Dust off your grill, stock up on charcoal or gas, and start planning your menu.

Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a novice chef, there's something special about cooking and dining outdoors. At White Stores, we offer a range of BBQs and outdoor cooking accessories to help you make the most of your culinary adventures. From charcoal grills to deluxe gas BBQs, we have everything you need to impress your guests with delicious meals hot off the grill.


Stay cosy after dark.

As the sun sets and the temperatures drop, keep the party going with outdoor heating solutions.

From stylish fire pits to sleek patio heaters, we have options to suit every garden style and budget. Gather around the flames with blankets and marshmallows for a cosy evening of storytelling and stargazing.

With the right heating setup, you can extend your outdoor entertaining well into the night and create lasting memories under the open sky.



This bank holiday weekend, make the most of your time outdoors by embracing the beauty and versatility of your garden.
