A visit to Weston Park would be the perfect way to mark the occasion, thanks to the Valentines Dine and Stay Package.

Indulge in an opulent five course meal, spend the night in the splendour of the 17th Century stately home, explore the beautiful gardens and grounds on a romantic stroll, and even have a go at chocolate making.

Experience a uniquely Staffordshire Valentines Day at Trentham Monkey Forest - the only UK attraction where you can walk among free-roaming monkeys.

Their Breakfast with the Monkeys is a real treat for animal lovers. Enter the park before it opens to the public, feed the monkeys as they wander around you, and hear all about them from the friendly guides.

There are up-close-and-personal Valentines days out at Peak Wildlife Park too, with their two-for-one deals on VIP experiences.

Nothing says I Love You like a penguin! Find out why on a meet the penguins day, where you can learn about the fascinating species and feed them the mouth-watering meals you've prepared for them.

At Uttoxeter Racecourse, the exhileration of the racing on February's Super Saturday Raceday is matched only by the excitement of a delightful four-course a la carte meal in the stunning 1907 Suite.

Their 1907 Restaurant Package also includes Premier admission, a glass of bubbly on arrival, a raceday programme, and a reserved table offering a great view of the action and the spectacular Staffordshire backdrop.

Enjoy an evening of mystery and fine dining at Three Horseshoes Country Inn & Spa, where the Valentines Masquerade Ball features an exquisite meal, live band and DJ. 

Or escape to their Mill Wheel Spa and choose from the intimate couples packages, like the I Love You Spa Day.

Celebrate Ghost-style, and recreate that iconic scene at the potters wheel, at the Valentine Clays Pottery Date Night.

With the help of an experienced potter, who will show you how to throw four-handed, you can create your own clay masterpiece and take home a permanent souvenir of Valentines Day 2020.

If you love the romance of the movies, you could have your own Brief Encounter on one of the classic steam trains at Churnet Valley Railway. 

Dine on The Valentines Express, with a four-course meal and first class table service, as you wind through Staffordshire's hidden valley.

If a more traditional evening is more your style, some of Staffordshire's best restaurants have created their own Valentines menus to savour.

Enjoy a gourmet candlelit night at Aston Marina, the Enjoy Staffordshire Independent Restaurant of the Year, and Goldstone Hall, where a sumptuous eight-course tasting menu has been created by head chef Liam Philbin.
