Cinema visit.

It’s no wonder so many dates in films actually take place at the cinema - it’s an undeniably romantic environment, perfect for spending time with that special someone and falling in love before the magic of the big screen. If you want our advice, brave a scary paranormal film and snuggle up with your other half! Or if you and your S.O. prefer to keep it light, go on a double date with Hollywood’s biggest stars and catch a rom-com. 

Just don’t forget to let tastecard cosy up with you on the back row to enjoy our discount cinema tickets- our Valentine’s gift to you. From Vue discount and Picturehouse deals to Odeon discount and Cineworld discount codes, we’ve got offers for (film) lovers across the nation!

Games night.

Competitive couples, maybe skip this one if you’re planning on spending next Valentine’s together. It’s games night, of course! Dust off the Monopoly board or pull out the PlayStation remotes and enjoy a thrilling night of gaming with your beloved Player 2. 

Granted, some Valentine’s call for fine dining and cocktails galore, but it’s important to cherish the little moments. Sometimes, there’s nothing more memorable and romantic than a cosy night in, saving Princess Peach or collecting $200 and passing go!
