The May Bank Holiday is the perfect excuse to gather your friends and family, fire up the barbecue, and enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you’re hosting a garden party, relaxing by the fire pit, or planning a laid-back evening with good food and great company, Homefire has everything you need to make your get-together warm, memorable, and hassle-free.
Fire up the barbecue
No bank holiday celebration is complete without some flame-grilled favourites. Our restaurant-grade lumpwood charcoal is ideal for delivering consistent heat and that classic barbecue flavour. It lights quickly, burns hotter, and lasts longer, so you can spend more time entertaining and less time tending the grill. Pair it with our natural Twizlers firelighters for an easy, chemical-free ignition every time.
Top Tip: For best value for money, add Kindling & Firelighter Starter Pack Multi-Pack. This multi-pack option gives you a bundle saving of £6.75
Gather around the firepit
As the sun sets, keep the party going with the warm glow of a firepit. Our kiln-dried logs are perfect for outdoor fires, burning hotter, cleaner, and with less smoke than traditional firewood. They're also ideal for toasting marshmallows or just creating that cosy atmosphere as the evening cools. You can even use heat logs in the firepit, which come in handy pack sizes.
Create a cosy outdoor space
Whether it's a full garden set-up or a simple patio gathering, adding warmth is a must for UK spring evenings. Using Homefire heat logs or kiln-dried wood in chimeneas or outdoor burners helps create a steady, long-lasting heat source that keeps guests comfortable well into the night.
Fire up the flower power
Don't forget to feed your garden, too. We also have a range of composts and other garden essentials to help your lawn and flowers bloom this summer.

- Check your equipment: Make sure your barbecue, fire pit, or chimenea is clean and ready to go.
