While February is the month of love, there is still traditionally a chill in the air in the UK. A Valentine’s date should be magical, cosy and unforgettable. Here are some of our favourite matchmaking date ideas to warm your heart.
A Cotswold Retreat
The Cotswolds is the perfect winter get-away for couples. Imagine waking up in a cosy cottage, taking a stroll through the rolling hills and enjoying lunch by an open fire in a quaint village pub. You’ll find unique independent shops, charming markets and high end restaurants serving local produce to explore together.
A date in the Cotswolds offers a charming, intimate escape that spells long-lasting love.
Edinburgh: a City of Culture
Edinburgh has a rich and diverse cultural scene, providing an inspirational backdrop for a Valentine’s date.
Visit the National, a gallery where you can immerse yourself in stunning art by artists such as Rembrandt and Titian. Enjoy lunch at the gallery’s fabulous café and restaurant. Don’t miss the newly opened Scottish galleries where the finest Scottish art from 1800 to 1945 is showcased.
The Royal Mile runs through the heart of the city, connecting Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Cobbled streets and narrow stairways create a magical, timeless experience for like minded individuals on a journey to find love. Enjoy unique shopping opportunities and gorgeous restaurants for a candlelit Valentine’s dinner.
Visit the Cornish Coast
A romantic retreat in Cornwall is one of our all-time favourite Valentine’s getaways. Despite the traditionally chilly February weather, there always seems to be a blue sky to be found in Cornwall. Rent a cottage with a romantic backdrop, enjoy fresh seafood and take walks along the rugged coastline. A perfect mix of the stunning outdoors and a cosy haven to encapsulate the setting for an ideal first date.
The Royal Albert Hall, London
We love the grandeur of this iconic venue for a truly memorable date night. From January to March 2024, Cirque du Soleil presents its stunning performance – Alegria: In a New Light. The show transports audiences to a mystical world, examining the power struggle between the old order and youthful hopes and dreams. With a Grammy nominated soundtrack, this promises to be a uniquely memorable, romantic experience, perfect for loved up couples.
