Klondyke launches Garden Thyme at Outdoor Living Showcase
 

"I’m thrilled to present our latest collections, designed to help our customers fully enjoy their outdoor spaces," said George Summerscales, Furniture Buyer, ahead of the Klondyke Group's Outdoor Living Showcase Event at their Polmont centre this week.

"We are particularly excited to launch Garden Thyme, our fresh new garden furniture brand. We have created Garden Thyme to make outdoor living feel effortless and enjoyable, whether you’re hosting friends, enjoying family meals outside or simply soaking up a sunny afternoon, the range offers the perfect mix of comfort and style.

 

"My top picks for 2026 have to be our Santiago collection, which transports you to a sun-soaked Mediterranean courtyard, complete with the scents of fresh herbs and blooming bougainvillea. I’m also a big fan of our Palermo collection, whose beautiful woven design combines comfort with versatility, and comes in sizes that fit perfectly into any outdoor space.”

 

The showcase event launches the 2026 outdoor living ranges to our 22 centres and is attended by our Furniture Team members. It provides an opportunity for teams to see, touch, and experience the new collections firsthand.


With more of us choosing to make the most of our gardens as places to unwind, entertain and dine, the 2026 range has something for every outdoor moment. The collection features modular, dining, bistro and lounge sets, alongside gazebos, BBQs and pizza ovens, plus innovative heating and lighting solutions to help you enjoy your space long after the sun goes down.

 

Our suppliers play a crucial role in the success of the showcase, offering expert insights, key details, and benefits of our ranges. This ensures our teams can provide customers with the best advice, helping them select the right products for their lifestyle and outdoor space.

 

“The showcase is the perfect platform for our teams to fully familiarise themselves with the ranges and engage with our suppliers to get answers to any product-related questions. By the end of the day, everyone is excited to return to their centres and share their knowledge and inspiration with customers,” said George.
