How to host the perfect Easter Garden Party

Whether it’s candlelit drinks with loved ones or wrapping up warm by the firepit, there’s something undeniably special about garden gatherings. This Easter, welcome friends and family into an outdoor space that feels like an extension of your home—filled with warmth, charm, and a little touch of magic.

From twinkling lights to relaxed brunches, here are some ideas to help you make the most of your garden this season.

A Garden Festival at Home

Recreate the magic of summer festivals in your own back garden. Layer cushions, throws, and blankets across outdoor furniture to carve out different areas—perfect for lounging with a drink in hand. A Repton Picnic-Style Wooden Table and Benches makes a sociable focal point for food and chatter.

For that signature festival charm, hang bunting, add pops of colour with tableware, and play your favourite playlist through outdoor speakers. As the evening winds down, a Paxton Rattan Egg Chair makes the ideal retreat for a little quiet time.

The Ultimate Bottomless Brunch

Nothing beats a laid-back brunch in the sunshine, surrounded by good food and even better company. Set the scene with a Paxton 4-Seater Rattan Garden Furniture Set, or for larger gatherings, a Repton Corner Sofa Set keeps everyone in the conversation.

A floral-inspired tablescape brings instant charm—pastel-hued crockery, fresh-cut flowers, and linen napkins add a touch of effortless elegance. Serve up sweet and savoury treats, from homemade pastries to seasonal fruit platters, and don’t forget a garden-inspired cocktail. A refreshing mix of cucumber gin, apple juice, and mint with a squeeze of lime keeps things fresh.

To elevate the space, consider planters filled with foxgloves, lavender, and ornamental grasses. Our terracotta pots offer a timeless finish, crafted using high quality clay for a refined touch.

An Afternoon Tea with a Twist

For those who love tradition with a modern edge, an afternoon tea in the garden is the perfect excuse to bring out the best crockery. Opt for a Repton Eucalyptus Wood Table & Four Chairs Classic Dining Set draped in crisp white linen, topped with vintage teacups and a tiered cake stand brimming with fresh bakes.

Delicate floral arrangements in ceramic vases or terracotta pots add an understated charm, while fairy lights or soft candlelight keep the atmosphere cosy as the sun begins to fade.

To bring it all together, serve a selection of hand-cut sandwiches, miniature desserts, and, of course, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam.

However you choose to gather, your garden is the perfect place to create memories. Whether it’s an intimate evening or a lively get-together, the right pieces can set the scene beautifully.
