Valentine’s Day

It’s strictly romance time! And what is more romantic than spending the evening in the arms of the one you love. Enjoy a private ballroom dance lesson to your favourite music.

We have been one of those inspired by watching the Strictly stars and have discovered the wonder of dancing with our partners. We are far from the level of Fred and Ginger, but dancing is a special experience to share.

Choose from a selection of ballroom dances such as the waltz, tango or foxtrot and your teacher will show you the moves. Decide whether you would like slow paced or something a little faster to make your day perfect for you. You can really play to your strengths and choose to learn a slow romantic waltz or fly around the dance floor perfecting the steps of a jive.

After your fun and romantic session, how about delving into the world of wine with a pairing & tasting session? Or perhaps you would like to relax and enjoy a quintessential afternoon tea for two?

'Necessity is the mother of invention' and we love the dining igloos that are popping up in the countryside.

Enjoy an exclusive dining experience in a private igloo within the grounds of your hotel. The seasonal menu will be created with passion, inspired by love, and cooked especially for you and your partner by a team of incredible chefs.

Don’t miss the importance of ambience; it’s as important as the food. We will create a perfectly romantic atmosphere luxuriously and beautifully styled to your taste to give you the ultimate dining experience.

Sit under floral hanging displays, relax on plump scatter cushions, take your partner’s hand and hold each other close as your listen to musicians or singers perform an exclusive set just for you both.

You can even choose where to position your igloo to have the best view, along with your choice of menu and pairing wines.

Imagine sweeping down the drive of your chosen stately home in a chauffeured car and being welcomed at the entrance by your butler for the occasion.

Experience life on a country estate and enjoy an exclusive and romantic Valentine’s meal created by your own personal chef and accompanied by a selection of wines and champagnes.

You may be dining in a wonderful old ancestral home, but you will feel relaxed from the moment you walk in and sip your first champagne.

Soak up the history during a guided tour of the estate before enjoying pre-dinner drinks in the drawing room. Your delicious dinner will then be served in the magnificent main dining room.

We will create the magical evening of your choice, which  can include a personal butler for the evening, a musician and chauffeured accommodation to and from the stately home. It’s the most wonderfully intimate atmosphere, you won’t notice the butler, it’s just the two of you and hundreds of years of history.

Shooting clays is perfect at any time of the year, and makes an exciting Valentine’s gift for your partner. If you’re a novice or a pro, you will master new skills and amaze yourself with your new-found proficiency, which you can test with a simulated shoot.

Whether you want to fine tune your shooting skills or discover the enjoyment of handling a gun and breaking clays, the sense of achievement at the end of the session will be yours to take away.

Receive expert tuition using multiple clay traps and experience the thrill of a simulated shoot. Clays will be fired in many directions, challenging your eye and speed of response making it a truly exciting day!

Embrace the full shooting experience with elevenses, a hearty lunch and a glass or two of champagne to toast your success. After your morning shoot, how about enjoy a luxury picnic for you and your partner in the grounds of the estate, or perhaps a 3 course hosted lunch in the manor house.

See what birds of prey are designed for and appreciate their natural behaviours as you witness some truly breath-taking flying as the Harris Hawks and Falcons demonstrate their exceptional skills.

Enjoy a personal 2 hour session with an expert falconer learning about our historical birds of prey as well as feeding and handling these iconic birds. You will have a wonderfully personal time with the birds, and build a real understanding of their different characteristics.

If you want an experience with your partner in which you really immerse yourselves in a wonderful countryside tradition, this will exceed every expectation.

After your session, how about enjoy a luxury picnic for you and your partner in the grounds of the estate, or perhaps a 3 course hosted lunch in the manor house.

As history lovers, we think Windsor is just perfect with 1,000 years of royal history at every turn.

With a glass of Champagne in hand, take a romantic horse & carriage ride along the Long Walk. Enjoy spectacular views of Windsor Castle as you learn more about Queen Elizabeth II’s childhood home at Windsor Castle. Relaxing, informative and rather regal are all very apt descriptions of our favourite horse and carriage rides through Windsor Great Park.

After your carriage ride, hop on board your luxury cruise and hear stories from your skipper as you head down the Windsor reach. The scene paints the history of the region; from picture perfect cottages to elegant towns.

Choose between lunch in a restaurant, a delicious afternoon tea or sit-down lunch on board your river cruise or maybe a romantic gourmet picnic overlooking Windsor Castle is the perfect lunch for you.

The beautiful riverside town of Windsor really needs to be experienced from a luxury river launch – it adds a wonderfully different perspective.

It is magical being on the water, especially for a romantic Valentine's experience. The Italian Riva is perfect at this time of year, keeping you warm and giving you the best views of the London skyline.

Enjoy a beautiful trip along the Thames in the first Venetian crafted water limo. From immaculate Italian leather seating to the fine wooden interior, enjoy an unforgettable cruise with your partner in style and comfort.

after your cruise along the River Thames, head to the London Eye where you will sip on a glass of champagne and dine on canapes; enjoy a romantic afternoon embracing the spectacular views of London’s skyline from the London Eye.

We’ll time your arrival at the London Eye so you see the views of London in the most beautiful light.

Ending your romantic afternoon with cocktails and dinner at the restaurant of your choice, will be the perfect finale.

Depending on the time of day and weather, you may even see a gorgeous sunset over the Thames from the boat or the London Eye. Now, what is more romantic than that?

Climb behind the wheel of your favourite classic car and meander through English country lanes and villages.

Sit back and admire the views while your driver guides you on your route, making sure that you see all of your favourite locations. Driving through the glorious English countryside in a classic car with the wind in your hair is about as romantic as it gets. Follow a route designed to give you an overview of beautiful countryside around you.

Visit picturesque towns and villages, and stop to enjoy many beautiful locations before setting back off on your journey. You will have the opportunity to do a little shopping or a walk.

Stop off for the perfect valentine’s lunch. Choose from a 3 course sit down meal, gourmet picnic or a quintessential afternoon tea. The choice is yours to make the day as special as it can be.

We will create your perfect lunch; whether it be a picnic in a secluded spot with magnificent views or a 3-course feast in one of our favourite restaurants.

To make your Valentine’s day unforgettable one, enjoy a fabulous exclusive dinner for two on The National Gallery’s Portico Terrace, overlooking London’s Trafalgar Square.

Begin your evening with your favourite cocktails or champagne and canapes upon arrival before taking a private after-hours tour of the gallery with your personal art historian.

If you’re a lover of wine, this is the perfect Valentine's experience for you.
