Pimp up your back yard with these colourful and glam solar lanterns. They're ideal for outdoor parties that will no doubt carry on late into the night. #hellofreedom

If your garden’s been neglected during the winter lockdown, now’s the time to glam it up ready for summer entertaining and alfresco parties.

Solar lanterns are all the rage and I’ve got my eye on these pretty ones from LolaWood, Uppingham.

They’re perfect to light up your outdoor space and will give a delicate ambient light at dusk but, they also add a decorative touch to your outdoor space. 

These ones come in five different colours and designs and are made from metal and Tyvek so they’re water-resistant and won’t age in the colder, wetter months. They’re also environmentally friendly and eliminate the need for long, messy wires and outdoor power sources.

Hang a couple in your pergola, use a few to decorate your patio or use them as a centrepiece on your table – wherever you place them, they’ll definitely get some admiring glances.

They charge up during the day so while you’re out in the garden topping up your tan, keep them in the sunlight so they’re charged and ready to go when the party starts. Prices start from £29.99
