These are all the things happening in Liverpool this Valentine’s Day

Single? Taken? It’s complicated? Whatever the status, we’ve got you covered


January is finally over and February is in full swing, which means one thing…Valentine's Day is just around the corner! No doubt some of you have already rolled your eyes or fake gagged at the thought of V-Day, whereas others have been swiping, trying to find a last minute date or stressing over having a cute evening with their S.O. Whatever the situation, feast your eyes on all the Valentine's events happening in Liverpool this year for singletons and couples, and even events for those who want to avoid the holiday full stop.

Happy couples – dinner and a show

We get it. You have a S.O. and you want to show them you love them (aka gloat about the fact that you have one), but will your single flatmates will appreciate you and bae hogging the kitchen to cook your Dine In for Two? Probably not, so head to the Baltic Market or, more specifically, to Blundell Street Music Lounge and show the whole of Liverpool that you're smitten. The cabaret restaurant is providing a 3 course meal and live music for just £30 pp. A bit pricier than the average date night, but factor in the added ambience of romantic songs in the background all night meaning you can save the sweet talk for later on, and you won't regret a penny!

Move your loved-up selves out of my sight for ONE NIGHT

Hopeful singles – speed dating

Of course not everyone wants to be single and free on Valentine's Day, but if you don't have a steady other half to do something with it may seem like that's your only choice. Fear not, for The Shipping Forecast has answered all your prayers. The venue is hosting a speed dating night from 7pm until 11pm with 2 for 1 cocktails as well! It's the perfect night if you're wanting to get back on the dating train, get over that rugby lad that fucked you over, or just to get out of the house this V-Day. Whether you fly solo or take your other single mates for you, you're bound to have a great night getting to know people. If not, the worst case scenario is you have juicy gossip to tell your flatmates the next day.

Strange to think you could meet your future boyf/girlf in the former Juicy

Singletons celebrating Mal/Gal/Palentines – getting drunk in town

For those of you in committed bromances and womances who have lost faith in finding a partner for the evening, Liverpool has your back with a fair few events geared up for a night of drinking and cursing the fact that there's a day out there for lovebirds but not for strong, independent individuals like yourselves. Get yourself down to Camp and Furnace for the ASBO Valentine's cinema night; if you go to the screening of the absolute classic Grease, you also get free entry to their Galentine's after party sure to get those chills multiplying. If you're not feeling the film, because it has a happy ending with two loved-up protagonists (euck), just get yourself to the after-party with your mates and pop those love heart balloons like they're the cold hearts of your exes.

Beers over boys

If you'd rather have a big "Anti-Valentine's" pres and have a great night out tearing up the dance floor with your best single mates, head over to Ink for their F*ck Valentine's themed night. A great night-out celebrating the fact that you're a single pringle who would rather down shots with their mates than mingle, and it means you'll be drinking until you can't physically write that "Miss You x" text you know you'll regret the next morning. Do the right thing and have a romantic evening taking drunk photos of your mates and making new friends for life in the loos of Ink.

You say "Valentine's Day", we say "fuck no"

Anti-Valentine's advocates – non-Valentine's themed events

And last but certainly not least, those of you who really could care less if it's Valentine's Day, because you've either never celebrated it or you've realised it's actually not worth all the hassle, have the option of having a great night-out while avoiding the red-pink haze throughout the rest of the city. The Bierkeller completely understands how you feel as they host "Yer Ma's Favourite Quiz". Just £1 entry and free drinks if you actually take your ma, you genuinely cannot go wrong here and you can avoid the couples and the bitter singles taking over town. Or, if you're still up for a normal night out in town, break free from the love bug that will take over that day and head over to 24 Kitchen Street for a Queen themed night.

Whatever your status this Valentine's Day, enjoy yourselves! xoxo
