Valentine's Day in Bath

Bath is one of the most romantic cities in Britain. Take your loved one by the hand and embark on a Valentine's adventure here this February, from exploring beautiful parks and gardens to soaring above the city on scenic balloon flights.

There are also plenty of opportunities to share a laugh at a comedy show, go for a theatre date with a lovely pre-theatre meal thrown in for extra brownie points, or try something new together with one of the activities at the annual ReBalance Bath Festival of Wellbeing, including spa packages, crafting workshops, guided walks, fitness classes, live music and much more.

Read on for more of our ideas on romantic things to do in Bath, and plan your perfect date in the city.

Book a Valentine's Day meal

It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without drinks and a meal out at one of Bath's most romantic restaurants. There's no better place to start than the home of TV's First Dates, The Botanist Bath, who are serving up a Valentine's sharing menu, including a selection of starters, one of their famous hanging kebabs, and cookie dough for two.

Spend Valentine's evening at Green Park Brasserie, named one of the 'sexiest restaurants in Britain' by The Sunday Times, where you'll be serenaded with a special jazz set from Green Park Brasserie's house band as you eat.

Enjoy an extra special evening with Champagne and a sharing menu at the iconic Pump Room Restaurant overlooking the Roman Baths.

Head to Robun for their exclusive Japanese Valentine's sharing menu, or next door at Flute, you'll find spectacular seafood sharing platters to fall in love with. Enjoy heart-shaped versions of the famed bun with strawberry jam and clotted cream at Sally Lunn's, or treat your loved one to one of the many fabulous afternoon teas available across the city, from Sweet Little Things' special Valentine's Day take on the classic, to an elegant quintessential tea taken in the leafy surroundings of The Roseate Villa Bath.

Memorable date ideas

Make it a Valentine's Day to remember with an atmospheric after-dark experience at The Roman Baths, where you'll toast each other with a glass of champagne around the torchlit Great Bath, before retiring to the adjoining Pump Room for a delectable sharing menu, accompanied by music from the restaurant's talented resident pianist.

Enjoy a romantic stroll around Prior Park Landscape Garden this Valentine's Day, and capture the moment with a photo or two on the specially-decorated Palladian Bridge to remember the occasion!

Take in stunning views across the city from a Bath Abbey Tower Tour - private tours are available if you want it to just be the two of you, and include a glass of bubbly when you reach the top. Tours can be booked outside the Abbey's usual opening hours, so you can surprise your partner at sunrise or sunset.

Book an experience your loved one will never forget with a Champagne hot air balloon flight, where you can marvel at incredible aerial views of Bath and its neighbouring countryside.

Perhaps your valentine is a Jane Austen fan? If so, they'll love a trip to The Jane Austen Centre, where you can try dressing up in Regency-era costumes and accessories. Or, take a romantic stroll along Gravel Walk in Royal Victoria Park, the setting for a proposal in Persuasion. There's never been a better time to celebrate the author, as Bath celebrates her 250th birthday.
