And with the current COVID situation temporarily restricting what we can do, the beer garden has become more important than ever!
So we’ve scoured the country for the best alfresco booze yards on offer in the biggest cities so you can enjoy a pint in the sun and a little socially distanced meet up.

Neverland
Whilst over the winter Neverland becomes a sleek ski-lodge, in the summer months it transforms into a bouncing beach club with a sizeable outdoor area featuring its own bar, street food, DJs and beach games. This is how summer should be done!
