1 - Head to Southsea beach and make a heart out of shingle. Show it to your partner, and take a picture to make the memories last!

2 - Take in some theatre with the Royal Shakespeare Company’s live performance of Twelfth Night at No. 6 cinema on February 14.

3 - If it’s a nice day, grab a picnic and head down to Canoe Lake. You can sit on the grass and feed the swans. Maybe bring a coat just in case though!

4 - If you’re not feeling Portsmouth, why not head to Isle of Wight for the day and take a walk along the seafront? You can catch a ferry or hovercraft across the water.

9 - Join the Wedgewood Rooms for its 6th annual St. Valentine’s Day Massacre on February 17th featuring local bands.

10 - Not in a relationship? The Spice Island Inn is running a speed-dating session on February 13. You might get lucky!
