Idea Two: Fluttering Hearts

What could possibly cause a loved one’s heart to melt more so than a fluttering of beautiful butterflies? Recently featured on the regional evening news, Wisley Glasshouse in Wisley has been transformed into a tropical paradise featuring thousands of exotic butterflies, all of them freely twinkling past you as you explore the grandeur of this cathedral-esque building. This really is something particularly special and suitable for all ages.

Wisley Glasshouse is open every day till 5^th March and adult tickets cost just £11.70. Why not plan an hour or so here then take lunch at the onsite Glasshouse Café? Alternatively there’s The Clock House just over a mile away which is highly rated on Trip Advisor, as are Toby Cottage and Ripley Curry Garden. And there are more – check this link for a selection of places to dine near those gloriously wonderful fluttering butterflies. Go on, make a special day of it!

Idea Three: Indulging Guilty Pleasures

Two things in life guaranteed to please have to be chocolate, and wine. So how about this for a Valentines’ idea sure to really indulge? A wine and chocolate tasting tour! The venue is Denbies Wine Estate on London Road in Dorking. The date is Sunday 12^th February, the times 12, 2.30pm and 3.30pm. As the publicity states, ‘indulge your senses with Denbies sparkling wine range and fine chocolates’. Well why not?

Idea Four: Jazzing it Up

If music is your food of love then play on – well at least listen in – at The Electric Theatre in Guildford on 14^th February at 7.30pm (doors 6pm). The Jazz Café featuring the Chris Ingham Quartet will fill your ears with melodic memories as the musicians revisit Dudley Moore’s 1960s trio albums. Tickets £14 per person.
