PARKLIFE, AND THE BEACH BOYS

-

We’re not out of the woods yet, of course, but the joy of being able to meet up with friends and family again, combined with (fingers crossed) a beautiful, long, hot summer is hard to beat. Whether it’s a barbecue in the garden, a picnic in the park or a day out to the beach, the simple pleasures of companions­hip and laughter with loved ones is one that we have all missed over the past year and more. So let’s make the most of it.

There aren’t many occasions that can’t be improved by the accompanim­ent of music, and we count such gatherings among them – as long as we are respectful of others out to enjoy the great outdoors as well, of course. This issue, then, brings you our suggestion­s for the best ways to enjoy your music outside; whether that be with a Bluetooth speaker (p32) or a personal music player (p50) depends on the occasion, of course.

It’s not all about music, though. Have you considered an outdoor cinema (p62) for those glorious summer evenings? We show you how, and suggest some perfect projectors (p57) to try.
