Left it too late? Here are the best last-minute Valentine’s Day date ideas in Sheffield

Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and chances of securing a decent restaurant reservation in Sheffield for February 14th are next to none.

So don’t let your partner down, it’s time to think outside the box but more importantly, quickly. Here are some fun Valentine’s Day ideas to do in Sheffield that won’t require much prep.

Cooking a meal

Create that luxury feeling for your partner at home. Buy the supplies, set up a nice table and pick some music to match the mood. This could show even more effort than a fancy Sheffield restaurant as you put in the time and effort yourself. Some classics to feel fancy could include steak or (to be particularly on theme) “Marry Me” chicken.

Date night roulette

If you want to add a twist to your Sheffield Valentine’s Day meal, try date night roulette. The idea involves both people picking a starter, main and desert. Then the two both reveal what they’ve picked for each round and both decide which they prefer.

Sheffield’s M&S has some nice dine-in deals and is a popular choice for the game, although any supermarket works. If you want to be more eco friendly and support local businesses, Trixie’s Pantry could also be a great contender.

Movie night

Though Sheffield dinner reservations may be gone, if you act quickly there may still be a chance for cinema tickets. “Wuthering Heights” comes out just one day before Valentines Day so could make the perfect pick. If you choose to go to Meadowhall you also have the surrounding food options if you fancy a bite. Alternatively, you could choose a cosy night in and enjoy a classic romcom with your partner.

Pamper night

Self love is important on Valentine’s Day too. Grab some face masks, skincare, maybe nail polish and you’re set. Pampering each other can certainly be seen as an act of service for your partner. This can also work perfectly alongside a movie night.

Valentine’s Day brunch in Sheffield

Why not mix up the typical dinner date for a Valentine’s Day brunch in Sheffield? Start the day right with a lovely breakfast.

Followed by a walk in the Botanical Gardens or Endcliffe Park this could make for the perfect Valentine’s Day morning.

Try a Valentine’s Day class in Sheffield

Sheffield has lots to offer in terms of classes, even on Valentine’s week. Most notably for couples, Cambridge Street Collective is running a pizza and pottery workshop on Wednesday 11th February as well as the Blend Culinary Foundation doing a couples cooking and cocktails special on actual Valentine’s Day (14th February). This could be the perfect chance to try something new with your partner.
