Tips & Other Considerations

Holidays, short breaks, theatre and restaurants etc at Valentine's Day can be expensive with premium prices, avoid the increased prices by researching well in advance & if you find it cheaper to book in advance, do so.

With Valentine's Day one day a year there is plenty of demand for short breaks, hotel stays, restaurants, theatre and other entertainment. Holidays, hotels, entertainment & dining venues do get booked up, so plan in advance to ensure you do not miss out.

It helps to be flexible regarding places you are prepared to go in the UK & where you are prepared to stay, if this is the case and a particular hotel or short break is booked up you can switch to another one without feeling as though you missed out or had to settle for your second choice.

Double check all of your bookings for hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, theatre, flights etc to ensure service providers have the correct details and everything is booked as you require it to be. It is wise to double check as there can be confusion or non/incorrect bookings done especially at busy times.

Whilst not everyone can or is able to celebrate valentine's day on February 14th due to work or lack of holidays or other circumstances. It is useful to be flexible and creative in being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day a bit before or a bit after the 14th. There are several advantages to doing this; firstly you avoid the big Valentine’s Day rush everywhere whether it is to get late deals, hotel stays or entertainment venues. You also avoid the premium prices that some establishments charge on Valentine's Day. You can enjoy your break with fewer crowds and at less cost. This way you can help yourself avoid travelling on the peak travel day & avoid the extra congestion & stress.

If you are travelling on the 14th February or around that time, it is wise to allow for extra time in your journey, the roads, rail, flights are likely to be congested and delays are possible. Build in some extra time in your journey to ensure you give yourself enough time to get to your destination & catch your train or flight. Leaving earlier can help reduce stress & anxiety.
