B&Q to open pop-up garden in Soho Square
London is set to get a little greener this April as B&Q opens the gates to the Open Garden, a new pop up outdoor space in Soho for Londoners to relax, enjoy and entertain in.
Open every day from 10am, you can drop into the pop up space to discover all the joys of a garden in the middle of central London. Sample tasty, freshly cooked barbecue food and botanical-inspired drinks served from our gin shed.
Make the most of your lunch break to read or relax with friends on the latest range of outdoor furniture from B&Q in amongst a collection of plants, flowers and shrubs. There’ll even be a selfie wall made entirely of flowers to pose against!
Londoners looking to unwind can drop by until 9.30pm for an evening drink under the open skies of Soho Square to the soundtrack of live music from No Limits Street Band.
If you’re keen to get a more hands on experience, there will be daily free workshops with B&Q experts on how to transform even the smallest space into a green, wildlife friendly sanctuary with little effort and minimal cost. Barbecue cook extraordinaire and YouTuber, DJ BBQ, will be dropping in to make a special appearance on Saturday 29th April to show off his grilling and DJ-ing skills on the latest B&Q barbecues.
B&Q’s Open Garden is free to attend and will be open to the public in Soho Square, London from Wednesday 26th until Saturday 29th April 2017.
