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.

Lola Young shares first public statement since cancellations and stepping away from the spotlight
Danny Jones
UK pop star Lola Young has shared her first public statement since cancelling the remainder of her tour and stepping away from the spotlight.
Lola Young, 24, took a break from her still-burgeoning career after numerous concerning incidents on stage, including throwing up and even passing out in the middle of a performance.
The BRIT School graduate announced the unfortunate cancellation of her upcoming shows “for the foreseeable future”, including a gig here in Manchester, at the end of September.
Breaking her silence after the best part of three months, the London-born singer-songwriter took to social media in a fairly brief but heartwarming statement.
As you can see, the time away from the public eye certainly seems to have been beneficial, telling her followers that “it has helped more than you will ever know”.
In addition to embracing ADHD – even labelling her hit song ‘Messy’ as an “ADHD anthem” in multiple anthems – she was also diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at just 17.
The latter can include symptoms such as psychosis, hallucinations, intense mood swings, bipolar mania, depression and more.
All that being said, we’re glad to hear that she’s on the mend; we saw her back in March, and you could tell from the crowd that she’s already got a very passionate cult following.
Both conditions and their associated obstacles have obviously affected her, but have equally helped influence her music and lyrical material, certainly, too.
Responding in the comments, fellow artist SZA wrote: “Love you, starfire angel. Your music is FULL of longevity and substance! We’re so grateful for you”.
Joining in support, ‘dark pop’ musician Carter James added, “Your wellbeing comes before anything. So excited for your next chapter whenever it arrives!”
We hope she’ll be doing better enough soon to get back on stage when she’s ready.
Nathan Aspinall urges PDPA to improve mental health support within the sport

Local sports personality Nathan Aspinall has urged the Professional Darts Players Association (PDPA) to provide better mental health support moving forward.
It’s not the first time ‘The Asp’ has called for more awareness and provision when it comes to player welfare and mental wellbeing, specifically, which remains a prevailing societal problem in general.
The Greater Manchester native has opened up about his own struggles many times in the past and has made a public plea for the PDPA to intervene and offer more help.
Speaking at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championships after his opening round victory, the 34-year-old instead chose to focus on more important issues than his strong start.
As you can see, Aspinall began by stating that “the PDPA now need to step in and help these guys because there’s a lot of guys suffering.”
Having long been an champion for male mental health, in particular – supporting the local Healthy Minds practices in his hometown of Stockport, for instance – he’s been one of the outspoken player on the subject for some time.
Noting that there are at least “two or three people” he refused to name, his message was simple: “There’s a lot of fantastic dart players in our sport, but it’ll be a shame to see so many of them go because of mental health”
The 2019 UK Open and 2023 World Matchplay winner has battled with multiple obstacles, including an ocular condition known as bilateral traumatic Brown’s syndrome, as well bursitis, which causes inflammation around key joints.
But it’s not necessarly injuries and the physical side of things that have been his biggest concern.

One of the biggest and most recurring challenges for him has been ‘dartitis’, which many players within the discipline wrestle with the more their careers progress.
Aspinall has confessed to suffering almost chronic panic attacks due to the mental blocks (also commonly known as ‘the yips’) brought about by the intense pressure of playing on stage/live on TV.
With that in mind, it’s great to see him not only back on form and pulling impressive performance such as his ‘big fish’ finish on Friday night, but continuing to draw more attention to the underlying mental health crisis, especially among men. Well played, Nath.
