February is the month of love, when cupid draws his bow and fires his arrows… and to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day we’ve looked around Bedford and picked out some things for you to do.
In the mood for love? Part 1
Treat your partner to a romantic Valentine’s Day meal at Miller & Carter. In addition to its usual a la carte menu, Miller & Carter is laying on a dedicated three course Valentine’s Day menu (12 to 15 February) alongside expertly crafted cocktails and candlelit tables.
In the mood for love? Part 2
If you want some inspiration from the Italians – and let’s face it, they know a thing or two about love – then check out Zizzi’s special Valentine’s Day set menus (9 to 17 February).
They include vegetarian, vegan, non-dairy and non-gluten options, along with classics such as sea bass, pulled pork, goats cheese, and a lentil ragu. Why not kick your meal off with a glass of fizz?
Cuddle up and watch…
Catch the climax of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy when Fifty Shades Freed opens at Vue Riverside Cinema on 9 February.
Find out what happens when the recently married Ana and Christian start a new life together. Surely nothing can go wrong? Staring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan.
My funny Valentine…
Catch comedian Ed Byrne in his new one-man show, Spoiler Alert, when he performs at Bedford’s Corn Exchange on 16 February.
Summer lovin’…
Remember the summer? You can get a taste of the sun drenched beaches of the Italian Riviera when you pop into Albero Lounge and order an Aperol Spritz – basically it’s Aperol topped with prosecco and a dash of soda. At £6.95 it’s summer in a glass.
Pick up a present
Before heading down to Riverside Bedford for a romantic meal or drink why not pop into the Harpur Centre and pick up a present for your loved one? Pandora’s Valentine’s Day jewellery selection is already in store…
Toast and Bubbly
Enjoy a bottle and a sharing platter just £20 and new cocktail and gin bar Toast Riverside. Pre-booking is a must.
