HOST AN EPIC SUMMER PARTY WITH HOMETAINMENT

We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but summer isn’t too far away. And that means, the alfresco party season is almost here. Whether it’s cocktails on the terrace or luxury BBQs that go on long into the night, we can’t wait to get all our friends around to our HOMEs to celebrate the Great British summer — sun or no sun.

At HOMETAINMENT, you’ll find all the experiences you need to create the ultimate summer party at HOME. You won’t need to be jostling for space with everyone else in the crowded bars or on the pavements outside the pub trying to get the last of the sun!

‍THE TRADITIONAL SUMMER GARDEN PARTY

Celebrating a birthday, an anniversary or just because? You’ll find our top tips for hosting your next summer party here, however much space you might have in your London garden! One thing you’ll want to get right is the drinks. And one thing you won’t want to be doing is spending time in your kitchen getting everyone drinks, when everyone else is outside. So instead, hire one of our professional bartenders or mixologists. Need some summer cocktail inspiration? Check out some of our favourites here.

THE DIY SUMMER FESTIVAL

So you didn’t get tickets to Glasto, or you just didn’t fancy the mud, no problem. It’s time to host your own festival. No queuing for the portaloos and no camping. Sign us up. Check out our experiences to mix and match and build your own bespoke event. Perhaps you’ll serve up an epic BBQ, maybe you’ll have a wellness corner where your guests can take part in ice bath therapy or take part in a breathwork class. As for music, it’s time to choose your own line up. What do you feel like? A DJ set? A Bijou 4 piece acoustic performance? Or want to recreate Glyndebourne with an opera performance? You decide!‍

THE SUMMER SPORTS PARTY

From being transfixed by Wimbledon to supporting the Lionesses in the Women’s World Cup. One of the best things about summer? All the sports. Invite your friends over, get a projector up to watch the game alfresco, hope it doesn’t rain and let HOMETAINMENT’s private chefs look after the catering. It’s time to up the usual offering of a few bowls of crisps and beers, to decadent cheese and charcuterie boards and the ultimate BBQ.

THE SCHOOL SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Of course with the summer comes the school summer holidays. We’ve put together 23 ideas to keep your children entertained at HOME during the summer, which of course includes our children’s experiences from the incredibly talented entertainers, Sharky & George. They’re guaranteed to throw an epic birthday party for your children! Or if we get the inevitable rainy days in the holiday, they can keep your children and their friends entertained with the likes of superhero training and crazy science.
