Things To Do This Valentine’s Day in Cambridge
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and what better way to spend it than exploring Cambridge with your other half? With gorgeous sights to see and delicious restaurants to visit, here are some of the places we recommend to spend this special day.
1. Flowers and Chocolates
We are starting off with the classics, flowers and chocolates are a must for any Valentine’s morning, and where better to get them than from small Cambridge businesses?
For chocolate, there is no better place than Chocolat Chocolat. With handcrafted Valentine’s treats, you will be in chocolate heaven! Order from their website for a ticket to paradise.
As for flowers, What The Fleur on Magdalene Street creates the most beautiful bouquets that will bring joy to your partner’s day. It’s also extremely close to our punting station!
When in doubt, you can also buy something special – whether it’s a sweet treat or jewellery – from The Cambridge Market in Market Square. With so many vendors and local businesses, you really cannot go wrong.
2. Valentine’s Punting
Cambridge is famous for its university and what better way to see the colleges than floating lazily down the river Cam? Valentine’s punting is a great option. This Valentine’s Day, we are gifting private tours for 2 with a red rose! With fleece blankets at the ready, this is the ultimate Valentine’s in Cambridge treat. With a guide on the back of your boat pushing you along and telling you the history as you pass each historical sight, all you need to do is sit back and relax. You can also add one of our picnic options to your punting experience.
3. Great St. Mary’s Church
If you love a good view then Great St. Mary’s Church is the place for you. The Great St. Mary’s Church Tower is accessible to the public and will give you the most spectacular birds-eye view of Cambridge. It’s a beautiful memory to make with your nearest and dearest. With over one hundred steps to get to the top of the tower, it is a bit of a climb, but is one hundred per cent worth it! You can see all over Cambridge and it is an iconic photo spot.
4. Romantic Meal
Where to go for the ultimate candle-lit dinner? You’ll need something unique and bespoke for your Valentine’s Day in Cambridge. Why not take a look at the pop-up 4-course dinner by Organic Garden and The Wine Rooms? For an organic and indulgent set menu – this deserves your consideration.
5. Evening Drinks
Cambridge has some lovely pubs and bars but a couple of them are beautifully unique. There is the rooftop bar, SIX, at the Varsity Hotel. SIX overlooks the river Cam and gives you a gorgeous view of Cambridge, and not only is it a lovely rooftop bar but there is also a restaurant so if you’re feeling hungry then you can grab a bite to eat.
Or, if you fancy a classier version of a pub then you should visit Parker’s Tavern. Located next to Parker’s Piece, the tavern has luxurious cocktails that are wonderfully crafted and lovely to look at. They also have a restaurant so if you fancy cocktails and dinner then this may be the best place to go.
