Leave the jumpers in the closet and hoist out the barbecue – it’s a summery bank holiday weekend. Something in the warmer temperatures creates a buzz in the air and the itch to get outside and dine al fresco. But fear of a bank-breaking grocery bill needn’t ­curtail your weekend plans; with some savvy planning and not too much effort, you can put on a fabulous party spread for 12 while staying south of £25 (just be sure to mention it’s BYOB on the invite).

From sticky-sweet barbecue pork ribs to barbecued watermelon wedges with mint sugar and lime, food writer Silvana Franco has the details on serving a budget feast.

Elsewhere, the fashion team has tips on how to choose the coolest summer shades, and we've got the low-down on Australia’s greatest journeys.

Happy reading!
