The Outdoor Living Collective opens a new studio in Belvoir Retail Village

The Outdoor Living Collective is a destination for luxury garden design, build and inspiration, with access to a curated collection of premium materials and products. For more than fifteen years, the Leicestershire-based company has created a host of extraordinary outdoor living spaces.

More than just garden designers, The Outdoor Living Collective brings together a unique collective of artisans, designers, and fine stone suppliers to craft extraordinary outdoor spaces that blur the boundaries between home and garden. Rooted in generations-old craftsmanship yet driven by modern innovation, The Outdoor Living Collective transforms gardens into timeless lifestyle spaces, delivered through an integrated approach that ensures every project embodies uncompromising quality and creativity.

The new 2,000 sq ft studio showcases The Outdoor Living Collective’s innovative garden designs and offers a creative space for people to work with award-winning designers to help transform their outdoor spaces. The studio also includes a shop featuring a curated collection of plants, trees, outdoor furniture, garden accessories and luxury paving. The glasshouse will soon host an immersive cook school, outdoor cooking demonstrations and workshops.

The Outdoor Living Collective is also proud to be an official Big Green Egg and RB73 dealer, bringing two of the most respected outdoor cooking and heating brands to the region. Their ranges take centre stage within the studio, allowing customers to explore outdoor cooking systems and contemporary wood-burning stoves first-hand.

Samantha Whitehead, owner of The Outdoor Living Collective said: “For us, The Outdoor Living Collective began with a simple idea, to make the journey of creating your dream garden easier, more enjoyable, and more inspiring. Over the years, we’ve met countless clients who loved the idea of transforming their outdoor space but didn’t know where to start, who to trust, or how to bring all the elements together. That’s how The Outdoor Living Collective was born.

"We wanted to create a space where design, materials, and expertise all live together in one destination. Somewhere people can come to explore possibilities, ask questions, and actually see and feel the products that could shape their garden. From paving and pergolas to specimen trees and outdoor kitchens.

“Our studio at Belvoir Retail Village has been designed to do just that. It’s a relaxed, creative space where ideas come to life. Whether you’re a homeowner dreaming of a space to unwind, a landscaper looking for premium products, or a developer wanting design-led solutions, we’re here to help you make confident, informed choices. The Outdoor Living Collective isn’t just about gardens, it’s about connection, creativity, and helping people get more joy from the space they already have.”

The Outdoor Living Collective is the latest addition to the vibrant Belvoir Retail Village. Alongside the new studio, guests can explore a handpicked selection of distinctive shops and eateries.

Isabel Bottoms, Retail Manager at Belvoir Retail Village said: “We’re delighted to welcome The Outdoor Living Collective into the Belvoir Retail Village, where we strive to champion local, independent makers and businesses and celebrate quality, craftsmanship and creativity.”

The Outdoor Living Collective is open Monday-Saturday 9:30am-4:30pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.

Throughout the festive season, the Belvoir Retail Village will also feature a bauble shop selling a unique collection of Christmas decorations and stocking fillers – perfect for last minute Christmas gifting. The shop is now open from Wednesday to Sunday until Christmas.
