“Good times are almost guaranteed – if only the unpredictable weather didn’t add a plot twist, turning a simple jacket decision into a classic British dilemma.
“We can’t guarantee the weather, but with our ‘When It Rains, We Pour’ promise, we’re encouraging people to embrace those April showers and make the most of every moment.”
The Greene King initiative is being promoted by Gavin and Stacey actor Larry Lamb, who describes a beer garden as a “sanctuary away from the chaos of every day”.
And while the famous saying may be “April Showers”, statistics found that the UK only receives an average of 11 days of rainfall during the month.
So fingers crossed that at least one of these falls over the next week or so.

You can enjoy a free pint the next time it rains by simply asking your bartender: ‘It’s raining, please pour me a free pint’[/caption]
