Invest in a bunch of outdoor candles, lanterns and fairy lights to keep the festival-feeling alive when the sun goes down. This is usually my favourite time during a festival when the transition from day to night begins to happen, that’s when the fun really starts. If you have a tree in your garden, a great idea would be to hang some tea lights from the branches. “Woven pouffes, twinkling lanterns and snuggly sheepskins will take you seamlessly into night time sing-a-longs around a glowing fire pit” advises Nadia from Wayfair.
A garden party is absolutely nothing without its food and drink. Glastonbury is famous for its Indian chapatis, mac’n’cheese and great burgers so lay out a spread of these Glasto-treats on colourful garden crockery and your neighbours will be begging for some over the fence. Invest in an outdoor bar, beer buckets or drinks dispensers to keep your mini-festival goers hydrated.
The final and most important element of the garden party and festival is the entertainment. Throughout the summer, many brands are hosting virtual performances and festivals to help us get through this year. Glitterbox, Junction 2 and even us GLAMOUR UK are just some examples. Hitch up your TV in the garden and rewatch some golden oldies from Glastonbury in the 90s, stream a live music festival on a portable sound system or even just find a great Spotify playlist and stream it from your phone - as long as your vibin’.
Don’t miss out - grab your housemates, turn up the music and bring Glasto-vibes into your outdoor space. Some of these items will give you a head start....
