SAVINGS OF THE WEEK! PARTY TENT ...UP TO 25% OFF

SOME call it a party tent. For others it’s a gazebo, a fake Latin name devised in the 18th century for a structure providing shelter against the elements in a garden.

But whatever name you choose, this steel and canvas canopy makes it possible to entertain outdoors, even if it’s raining.

Better still, there are bargains to be had. For example, a heavy duty deep blue gazebo from The Range is now £26.99; reduced 25 per cent from £35.99. Wayfair’s Indiana dark beige gazebo has been reduced from £169.99 to £129.99, a 23 per cent cut.

This retailer also has larger models with mesh curtains to deter mosquitoes, including the Blue Elephant in khaki brown (pictured), which was £254 and is now £189.99, down 25 per cent (wayfair.co.uk).

House of Tents specialises in the kind of party tent that’s more of a marquee. The 4 m x 8 m version is £475, down 10 per cent from £529 (houseof

tents.co.uk). B&M says that its 6 m x 3 m marquee will accommodate 30 people. At £80, it’s 20 per cent off its original price of £100 (bmstores.co.uk).
