It is a truth universally acknowledged, that you can never have too many sets of festoons! With this in mind, we’ve added even more sizes, shapes and styles to our tasty little selection. Whether you decide to display your beautiful bulbs indoors or out, you’ll find your perfect festoon match at Festive Lights.

Fans of TV’s Love Island will recognise festoons as being the ‘Love Island lights’ that have been featured in the villa for the past few years.  Available in a huge range of colours and styles, festoon lighting is a popular choice for weddings and events, as well as gardens in need of light and character or as a bold interior design choice. Whether you’re throwing a party or want to add a permanent touch of something special to your outdoor space, with our collection of festoons, different length belts, connectable lighting, a wide range of bulbs and controller cables with LED dimmers, we really do have something for everyone!

Below we have listed some of our popular festoon choices and their key features to give you a helping hand with your festoon choice.

Some of our favourite ideas include using battery-powered festoons on outdoor trees, creating a all-year round canopy of lights, and attaching them to fascias for a fantastically festive feel. If the ideas above didn’t tickle your festoon fancy enough then below we have compiled a list of images to give you all the inspo of where to display them! How do you like to use yours? Let us know in the comments below and don’t forget to share your images on Twitter or tag us on Instagram, making sure you use our hashtag #myfestivelights and #ShareTheJoy and we’ll share our favourites!
