Gnomes & Characters
Garden gnome figurines, fairies and characters with names, jobs and opinions. The heart of the British garden, unapologetically.




About our gnomes & characters
Let's settle this: garden gnome figurines are not naff. They are the oldest joke in British gardening and still the best one - little characters that turn a garden from a display into a story. Our gnomes and characters collection is where you will find a garden gnome figurine for every corner: fishermen for pond edges, dreamers for flower beds, and one very grand fellow for gardens that want a talking point. Alongside the gnomes live our garden fairies ornaments and storybook friends - fairy ornaments for garden borders, toadstools for shady spots and characters that make children (and most adults) stop and smile. Every figure is cast in weatherproof, frost-resistant resin and hand-finished in cheerful colour, so the personality survives the British weather. Fast UK delivery, free over £20, and a 100% money-back guarantee - even on the gnomes with attitude.
Gnomes & Characters - FAQs
Are garden gnomes weatherproof?
Yes - our gnome figurines are cast in frost-resistant resin with weatherproof painted finishes, so they stay out all year. Colours stay brighter for longer if they get a bit of shade during peak summer.
What size are your gnome figurines?
Most stand between 20cm and 35cm tall - big enough to have presence, small enough to tuck among planting. Each product page lists exact dimensions, and our statement gnome is considerably larger.
Do gnomes and fairies work in the same garden?
Beautifully. Gnomes suit open spots where they can be seen; fairies and toadstools work best half-hidden among planting, where finding them is part of the fun.
