Valentine's Day

Valentines Ideas in Staffordshire

There’s no doubt Valentine’s Day will be very different this year, but there are still plenty of ways to celebrate the most romantic day of the year in Staffordshire.

From romantic walks in scenic spots for local visitors, to takeaways from our best restaurants, to vouchers you can enjoy post-lockdown, here’s our guide to the best Valentines events, activities and gifts for your special someone.

Romantic Walks in Staffordshire

We’re blessed with many beautiful open spaces which make perfect spots for a romantic walk.

The Trentham Estate is open for lockdown exercise, so you can enjoy the magnificent Italian Gardens, take a lakeside stroll, breathe in the panoramic views, and spot the fairies.

Or for something more intimate, you could try the Dorothy Clive Garden, an idyllic, colourful corner of Staffordshire which was originally created by Colonel Harry Clive for his wife.

You are welcome to visit these and Staffordshire’s other wonderful open spaces for a Valentines Day walk, but if you are planning on going out, please observe the Covid guidelines and stay within your local area.
