There’s currently a massive summer sale at Aldi, and there’s up to 50% off on garden essentials like BBQs, pizza ovens, fire pits, and so much more.
With temperatures having been soaring right across Greater Manchester over the past couple of days, as the UK experienced the second heatwave of the summer, budget supermarket retailer Aldi has decided to slash the prices of some of its most popular Specialbuy items both in store and online – and there’s dozens of items on offer across its outdoor ranges.
Some of the must-have garden accessories with reduced prices include several Gardenline Fire Pits, like the Square Fire Pit, the Mesh Wild Fire Pit, Tripod Fire Pit, Steel Fire Pit, and the stand-out Geometric Fire Pit – which doubles as a campfire and a BBQ, and was originally £69.99, but is now better than half price at just £29.99 in the sale.

After becoming the first UK supermarket to ban the sale of disposable barbecues, Aldi has also slashed the price of its battery-powered Gardenline Portable BBQ, which has a charcoal grill and an integrated fan, and is on sale for less than £30.
Gardenline pizza ovens let you create delicious food for friends and family in no time at all, and feature wheels and a handle for easy transportation across the garden, as well as coming with a pizza stone, gas regulator, and instructions manual.

Both pizza ovens have received rave-reviews in the past, and aren’t expected to stick around for long in the sale.
A handful of garden furniture items are also in the limited-time sale, and you can also get yourself a bargain on discounted trampolines, tents, and more to really make the most of the outdoors.
While it’s true that the weather forecast doesn’t have the brightest outlook anymore, with a thunderstorm warning now in place, this could still be your chance to grab a bargain for next summer – or in case there’s any other warm spells that surprise us before the year is out.

If you’re not looking to kit-out your garden though, not to worry, as reduced prices can also be found on other items such electricals, kitchen appliances, and even Lacura beauty products too, so there’s something for everyone to save a few pennies on.
For those looking to get their hands on a couple of bargains before the summer is out, you can find the opening times of your local Aldi branch on the Store Finder here.

Sir Ian McKellen pays emotional tribute to long-time friend and fellow northern actor Sir Patrick Stewart

Sir Ian McKellen has paid an emotional tribute to his long-time friend and fellow northern actor, Sir Patrick Stewart, following his death.
Sir Patrick Stewart – who was born and bred in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, and is best-known for his theatre work alongside an illustrious 60-year screen career, taking on prominent roles in franchises such as Star Trek and X-Men – sadly passed away at the age of 86, with his death being announced publicly yesterday evening (29 October).
And now, his long-time friend and fellow northern actor, Sir Ian McKellen, has paid tribute.
Sir Patrick and Sir Ian shared the stage together countless times over their decades-long careers, but also famously starred alongside each other in the X-Men franchise, and subsequent Marvel movies, as Charles Xavier/Professor X and Magneto.
The tribute, shared across Sir Ian’s social media platforms, reads: “Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
“We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions.
“My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in ‘Star Trek’. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”
“Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did, for not just his devoted Trekkies, but film and theatre audiences who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes (‘X-Men’ of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
“America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin.
“But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.”
Sir Patrick Stewart’s farewell performance will be in Avengers: Doomsday, which is being released in UK cinemas on 18 December 2026

Classic FM will be back playing calming music for anxious pets this Bonfire Night
Emily Sergeant
Classic FM will be back playing calming music for anxious pets during this year’s fireworks season.
Bonfire Night may be loved by us humans for the spectacular firework displays and all the festive-themed activities that come along with it… but sadly, the November holiday isn’t quite so fun for our four-legged friends.
Loud bangs, flashing lights, and unpleasant strong smell of spent explosives are just some of the reasons why fireworks are frightening to pets.
Not only that, but with multiple bangs occurring from numerous displays across this time of year, pets are rarely able to pinpoint when and where the booming explosions are coming from, therefore creating even more anxiety around this time of year.

Which is why, for the ninth year running now, Classic FM is once again teaming up with the RSPCA for two Pet Classics programmes packed with ‘the most soothing and comforting classical music’.
The music has been handpicked to help calm and settle any anxious pets.
A survey by the RSPCA revealed that almost two-thirds (63%) of animal owners reported their pet was distressed during fireworks season, and that playing relaxing music was the most common way (36%) to help calm or prepare their animal.
Presenters Dan Walker, Aled Jones, and Dawn O’Porter will each host a night of the specially created programme to help keep the nation’s pets calm through the whizzes and bangs.
Dan will present the first programme on Bonfire Night itself (Thursday 5 November), and then as celebrations continue throughout the weekend, Aled will be on hand to bring some peace to Friday 6 November, and Dawn picks up the baton on Saturday 7 November.
