If dancing in the moonlight is this season’s plan for the garden, best to have a back-up lighting scheme for cloudy evenings. Keir Townsend’s metal lantern with a leather handle casts a soft light across the lawn thanks to its satin acrylic diffuser and pearl finish, and can be used unplugged outdoors as well as on the house’s mains electricity, for when the party heads indoors. From £490 for small lantern.
