One of the things we are all looking forward to is that first drink in the sun with our family and friends when lockdown eases.
Milton Keynes is home to some great, social outdoor pub spaces, which are perfect for doing some of our favourite spring and summer hobbies: drinking outside, being with friends and basking in the sun.
Here are some of the best outdoor pub spaces, which you can enjoy with five others or one other household on or after April 12, depending on what is decided by the government closer to time as part of the four-step roadmap out of lockdown.
