Let’s have a look at some other Valentine’s Day ideas in Blackpool.
Food and Drink
A lavish meal with your loved one is a great way to spend Valentine’s Day. With everything from fish and chips by the seafront to high-end dining, let’s have a look at some options for romantic meals out in Blackpool.
The Floral Lounge at The Winter Gardens
Following the redevelopment of the bars and restaurants at the historic Winter Gardens, The Floral Bar can be found at the heart of the iconic venue, and it is more than just a bar. It’s been described as an experience and a destination, a place to make memories to be treasured.
Enjoy a sip of a hand-crafted cocktail amid the opulent interior, where every drink is a journey and every taste is a story, The Floral Lounge is the perfect place for pre-show drinks, but it’s much more than that, it is the perfect place for a romantic evening as you step into a world of timeless elegance, impeccable service, and unparalleled beverages.
The Blackpool Tower Ballroom
Designed by legendary architect Frank Matcham, and opened in 1899, The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is packed full of Blackpool history, and of course, the venue for Strictly Come Dancing’s annual trip to Lancashire.
If you’ve been inspired by the BBC celebrity dance competition, you don’t need to have the skills of Anton Du Beke to be able to grace the iconic sprung wooden dance floor of the ballroom, simply hold your partner close and hope for the best!
While we think the opportunity to take to the floor is one not to be missed, don’t feel you have to if you fear you have two left feet, as you can enjoy watching others spin across the floor to the sounds of the famous Wurlitzer Organ as you enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea, complete with sandwiches, scones with closed cream and jam, cake, and tea or coffee.
You can book tickets and see the available options by visiting the Blackpool Tower website.
The Beach House Blackpool
Found between the North Pier and the Tower Festival Headland, The Beach House offers unrivalled views of the Irish Sea and can give you the perfect Instagrammble views of spectacular sunsets, as you enjoy a cocktail with your Valentine beside you.
There’s an extensive and varied menu with something for everyone, with a vibrant dining experience in the contemporary main restaurant or the conservatory-style dining area. If you’re looking for cocktails, then you’re certainly in for a treat, with a wide selection of amazing drinks concocted by the Beach House’s expert mixologists.
Book a table by visiting The Beach House website.
Coral Harbour Kitchen & Bar
One of the newest additions to Blackpool’s food and drink offering, and the latest addition to the Coral Island complex is Coral Harbour Kitchen & Grill. A piratical food hall, offering a range of dishes inspired by international cuisine, in a relaxed communal dining hall.
There’s a range of British Asian dishes, including noodles and fried rice with delicious toppings, packed tasty bao buns, various pasta dishes with sauces from Little Italy, fish & chips for the traditional seaside options, burgers, hotdogs and chicken.
If you’re starting your Valentine’s Day early, there’s a full breakfast menu served until 11 am, Dessert Island for all the sweet treats, and Silver’s Bar for nautical cocktails, beers, wines, and more. Whether it’s a fun meal out for just the two of you, or a group of friends, why not try Coral Harbour Kitchen & Bar, and have some fun in the arcade afterwards?
With its famous facade on the promenade, almost as iconic as the famous Tower, Coral Island is a brilliant idea for couples. Why not try and win your Valentine a soft toy from the crane grabbers, or see if you can win tickets from our arcade games and exchange them for a prize for your loved one from the ticket shop?
Fun Ideas For Couples
If you’re looking to spend the day and night doing something different in Blackpool, then we have some great ideas for a Valentine-themed adventure!
Take a walk in the park
For a tranquil escape away from the bustle of the centre of town, and somewhere to enjoy spending time together, then Stanley Park is the ideal place for a romantic stroll, or even a picnic if the weather holds up - but you might wanna wrap up warm, it’s still February!
This Grade II-listed park, which opened in 1926 and has been voted the best park in the UK numerous times, takes in over 390 acres of breathtaking beauty, with a magical combination of elegance, architecture, and horticulture.
More than two million people visit the park every year, which is divided into four zones: the north and western formal gardens; the eastern area lake and woodland area; and the southern stretch.
Take a stroll around the park, arm-in-arm with your Valentine, and visit the delightful Art Deco cafe that overlooks the ornamental Italian Gardens. Why not treat yourselves to a delicious afternoon tea?
The Golden Mile
It might not be the time of the year to be dipping your toes in the sea, but with six miles of sandy beaches with views across the Irish Sea, Blackpool Beach is the ideal place to stroll along the beach and blow away the cobwebs or walk off a lavish meal and get some fresh air.
Spend some time in the relative peace and quiet of the beach before heading indoors to warm up and enjoy a cocktail or two!
Coral Island Casino
If you’d like a truly unique experience for Valentine’s Day, why not visit Coral Island Casino after you’ve been for a romantic meal?
