WHEN the weather is warm, few things are better than sitting in a beer garden with family and friends - even if you don't drink.

Cruelly, just as the sun beams down on us and temperatures rise to 30 degrees Celsius, we are unable to visit our favourite spots. 

So instead, we asked you to name the beer gardens you are most looking forward to visiting once restrictions on pubs are lifted.

In no particular order, here is a Gwent beer garden wish list - as picked by you.
