For a relaxed, more casual valentines date (that’s also free!), Victoria Square is putting on a range of activities and events to put you in the mood for romance. Running from 14th – 22nd February, Love is in the Air at Victoria Square promises fun for all the family, with a love photo booth on the lower ground floor, face painting and craft making for the kids and an all new love zone in between Cruise and Hugo Boss where you can meet a date, share a love seat and relax. There will also be love heart sweets served with the bill at a range of VS restaurants and an 8ft wishing tree where you can write a wish and tie it to the tree to see if it comes true.

For a twist on the classic romantic valentines meal, why not try the King’s Head who have a four course valentine’s menu with a champagne cocktail for £19.95. Check out the menu here. Then, from 8.30pm – 1am enjoy the 1920’s speakeasy atmosphere with live jazz from the Martello Jazz Band.

For those of you who are shunning Valentines day altogether, or if you’re just looking for something with a few more shots, then why not get married at Sh*t Disco in Limelight 2 this Friday? DJ Joe Lindsay, priest of the Church of Dude, Church of Elvis and Church of Satan will be ‘marrying’ four couples live onstage in a specially built balloon church, so it’s not to be missed! Wedding gown, tux, confetti and best man/ bridesmaid outfits will be supplied.
