To celebrate the bank holiday, B&Q’s sale offers up to 50% of garden furniture and accessories, and trust me, there are some big savings to be had. If you’re looking to shake up your garden seating ideas on a budget, you don’t want to miss this.

My immediate thought, scrolling through the sale items, was ‘I can’t believe that an egg chair is so cheap!’. And at £75, down from £150, B&M’s Santorini Hanging Egg Chair is a bargain price. While I have spotted a similar Hanging Cream Egg Chair in Black for £99 at B&Q (reduced from £199.99), I haven’t found many as affordable as B&M’s.

B&M’s egg chair folds away when not in use, making it an excellent choice for small gardens or balconies. It’s incredibly stylish; however, it is already selling fast, so you’ll have to be really quick if you want one.

As well as the egg chair, the Jakarta Solid Wood Dining Set 5pc also caught my eye. Reduced from £250 to£125, this garden set consists of four dining chairs and a table. The set is made from responsibly sourced Shorea hardwood and is perfect for family dinners or summer hosting for small groups.

Lastly, I’d also recommend looking out for the Bali Reversible Rattan Effect Corner Sofa Set, which has been reduced from £250 to £125. This two-piece set, which includes a corner sofa, cushions and a table, is ideal for both lounging and hosting. At £125, it’s easily one of the most affordable garden sofas available to buy right now. However, if you can afford to spend a little more, I’d say to go for the iconic John Lewis Marcy Sofa (£279), which is one of the most stylish yet comfortable garden sofas you can buy this year.

The B&M May Bank Holiday Bonanza is available to shop in-store and is likely to sell out fast. If you miss out on your desired sale item, or you don’t have a local store, I’ve tracked down a few more garden furniture deals available right now.

This might be the most affordable garden sale event of the summer. Which piece has caught your eye?
