This Valentine's, escape the candlelit restaurant, soppy music and champagne glasses, and be inspired, with our five unusual and original ideas to celebrate Valentine's Day in the UK.
For a relaxing Valentine's: Spa trip to Bath
For a pampering session this Valentine's, head to the ultimate spa city in the UK: Bath. The thermal city offers a unique experience as it's the only place in the country where you can bathe in natural thermal waters and experience the ancient and modern spa. A £59 spa package includes entry into the Roman Baths, a two-hour session at the Thermae Bath Spa and lunch or Champagne afternoon tea at the Pump Room.

For a cultural & romantic Valentine's: Outdoor film screening in London
For a unique and romantic experience on 14 February, wrap up warm and enjoy a free outdoor screening of Billy Wilder's wry, bittersweet comedy The Apartment (1960) at the National Theatre in London. The special Valentine's Day film screening takes place on top of the theatre's Flytower, and the bar will be offering romantic treats, including ‘The Frosty Jack' - two glasses of pink prosecco and a box of Turkish Delight - and ‘The Sizzling Shirley' - two Irish coffees and a box of dark chocolates.
