With parts of the UK heating up to as high as 18C this week, it seems spring weather has officially arrived. And if the sunny days have you thinking of outdoor dining and lazy days relaxing in the garden, you might be in need of some garden furniture. Luckily, Debenhams has cut the prices on dining sets in its timely sale.

The Debenhams sale includes everything from parasols to rattan furniture, but the dining sets offer the biggest savings, with up to 75% off.

As we get closer to summer and the demand increases, it can be more challenging to find deals on garden furniture, so it’s good to take advantage of a discount while it's still around.  

One of the most notable savings we’ve spotted is on this black and natural wood five-piece Garden Dining Set, which now costs £364.50. That’s more than £1000 cheaper than the table’s original £1,458 price tag. 

The set is made from black rattan and wood, with a stylish colour contrast. The chairs and table are also foldable, so you could store them in the shed and bring them out when needed.

If you’re hoping to have meals in the garden or invite friends over for al fresco meals, you may be looking for a larger table, and the Black Rectangular Dining Set is an affordable choice. Reduced from £519.25 to £219, there’s 58% off at Debenhams.

The minimal design would suit most gardens and could be used on grass or patio. The practical material would withstand unexpected showers and could easily be wiped clean if it got dirty or muddy. The chairs also fold up, so if you’re short on space, you could store them away between uses. They’re lightweight, so you can easily pick them up and move them around once you hit a shady spot.

Dunelm has a new range of garden furniture, including the Miami Rope 4-Seater Conversation Set – it’s not on sale, but it’s already reasonably priced. The £249 seats four people on a sofa and two chairs, with a low coffee table. The design is modern and minimal, with black rope detail and wood accents.

The Outsunny Garden Dining Set has been reduced to £106.99 at Robert Dyas. It is a weather-resistant set with four foldable chairs, a round glass table, and a parasol.
