For the loved up couples, whether you are planning to relax or to have a night out on the town, check out some of our suggestions:

  • A film and a takeaway
  • Meal in a restaurant – loads of places offer Valentine’s Day deals but make sure you book early as Valentine’s Day tends to be very busy!
  • Cinema date
  • Weekend trip – whether you are in Scotland or England, there are so many beautiful places the UK has to offer, this is the perfect excuse to see somewhere you haven’t been or to share a place that you love
  • Cook up a meal with each other – heart shaped pizza?

Don’t worry if you don’t have a date planned because we have some ideas which might interest you…

  • Speed dating
  • Eat some pizza with close friends – nothing says love like pizza
  • Go to a Valentine’s disco
  • ‘Anti-Valentine’s’ club night
