Summer is right around the corner, and one of B&M’s most popular garden furniture items is finally in stock once again.
The hanging egg chair is back.
After what has been an unseasonably cold few months, temperatures have been hotting up over the past couple of weeks and the sun has finally started making an appearance in Greater Manchester now that May is here, which means that lots of people have been able to get out and spend some time in their gardens for the first time this year.
The first glimmer of sunshine is also what tends to prompt people into tidying up and preparing their gardens for the summer – with new furniture additions often a popular place to start.
B&M is known for selling an extensive range of garden furniture every summer, with stock often flying off the shelves and being snapped up as soon as the weather turns warmer, but arguably nothing is more sought-after than the hanging egg chair.

Every year, the budget retailer’s viral Siena Hanging Egg Chair sees people flock from far and wide to their nearest store, and often sells out in no time at all.
But this summer, not only is it back in stock once again, but you can also get it for 20% off.

The Siena Hanging Egg Chair is described by the retailer as being a “comfortable chair” that’s the “perfect place to relax” in the summer, and it comes with a luxury cushion inside safely-secured suspended rattan basket to provide “a smooth rocking action”.
The massively popular chair will usually set you back a whopping £250, but if you’re looking to get your hands on it this summer, B&M currently has a 20% offer on giving you £50 off the market price, meaning the chair could be yours for just £200.
As is usually the case though, the chair is predicted to sell out, and given the discount, it could prove more popular than ever, so you’ll want to be quick if you’re looking to add the accessory to your garden.

One of Manchester’s biggest vintage shops to close after a decade
Daisy Jackson
One of the biggest and best vintage shops in Manchester has announced its imminent closure.
Thrift Shop, which is part of the legendary Cow Vintage family, has said that the landlord of its store has ‘chosen not to renew our lease’.
The beloved vintage shop has been in its spot just off Piccadilly Gardens for a decade, with colourful rails stuffed with pre-loved denim, coats, dresses, accessories, and more.
Ahead of its closure this week, Thrift Shop has announced details of a major closing down sale, aiming to get rid of all its stock.
Initially touted as two for £10 on all thrift items, they’ve now slashed prices even further and are offering three items for £10.
That does exclude their ‘premium’ items, where you can snap up big labels like Carhartt and Levi’s.
Sharing the sad news of its closure online, Thrift Shop Manchester wrote: “We are gutted to announce the closure of beloved Manchester store.
Thrift Shop Manchester is throwing a huge closing down sale
“Last week we found out our landlord chose not to renew our lease after over ten years in this unit.
“To bid our farewell, we’re doing a MASSIVE closing down sale to get rid of all stock !!!! All Thrift items will be 2 for £10 until our last trading day on 30th May!!
“We’ve absolutely loved serving you for all these years, so long, farewell and, as always, get thrifty.”
In the comments, fellow independent retailer Thunder Egg – which just had to move out of its Oldham Street store (but is still in Afflecks) – commented: “So sorry to hear this, retail landlords in Manchester are absolutely in their sh*tbag era right now.”
Thrift Shop Manchester will close for good on Saturday 30 May.
