Celebrate Independents’ Day UK with Free Personalisation on Garden Furniture

Support Independent British Craftsmanship – With a Personal Touch

Celebrate Independents’ Day UK with us! Enjoy free engraving or personalisation on selected handmade garden furniture until Sunday.

Independents’ Day UK (4–5 July) is a nationwide celebration of Britain’s independent shops and makers, and as a family-run business that’s been handcrafting garden furniture since 1923, we’re proud to be part of it.

To mark the occasion, we’re offering free engraving or personalisation, up to the value of £100, on all eligible garden furniture orders placed between Friday 4 July and Sunday 6 July.

Whether you’re ordering a memorial bench, a bespoke picnic table, or a classic teak chair, it’s a chance to add a lasting inscription, family name or meaningful date – on us.

Every item we make is built to last for decades, and now you can make yours even more meaningful.

Why Shop Independent?

When you choose to buy from an independent British maker, you’re supporting local jobs, traditional skills and responsible sourcing. All our furniture is handcrafted from grade-A solid timber, primarily teak, but also oak, iroko, and sweet chestnut, by a small team of experts based in the north of England.

When you buy from us it’s not just garden furniture. It’s a legacy.

How to Claim Your Free Personalisation

There’s nothing you need to do, just place your order before midnight on Sunday 6 July, and we’ll be in touch to confirm your engraving or personalisation preferences.

We’re here to help if you’d like advice on wording, font options, or placement.

Thank you for supporting independent British businesses.

And from all of us at Teak Garden Furniture, happy Independents’ Day.
