Have you already got plans or are you still looking for something to do? If you answered with the latter then worry not, below we have two interesting date ideas for those who want to celebrate their Valentine’s Day in Nottingham slightly differently this year.

Escape Room Experience

Do you and your partner enjoy a challenge? Convinced you’re an unbeatable duo when it comes to puzzles? Then we have the perfect date idea for you, if you’ve never tried an escape room before then we fully recommend having a look into the many that can be found all around Nottingham.

The newest addition to the escape room craze is ‘Cave Escape’, this venue is certainly one of the most interesting developments in the escape room world, located in a sandstone cave system that used to be cellars. Cave Escape offers a top tier immersive experience, complete with twists, turns, mysteries and puzzles galore!

Another escape room experience worth investigating on Valentine’s Day in Nottingham is Escapalogic, offering a wide range of fantastically themed rooms with top of the range special effects, you can find yourself immersed on a pirate ship, a bank safe, a mafia-themed room and more. With one hour to plan and execute your escape are you and your partner up to the challenge?

The Lost City Adventure Golf

If you don’t fancy using too much brain power but still want something fun to do, then how about a round of mini-golf? The Lost City Adventure Golf course is perfect whatever the weather and is perfect for a date as players are whisked away surrounded by the sights and sounds of a tropical rainforest. You and your partner can choose between two top-of-the-range (pardon the pun) 18-hole courses with many an obstacle to overcome, it’s up to you whether you want to be competitive or give each other a helping hand when needed. Once you’ve completed your game you can treat your other half to a drink at the themed Tiki bar.

Hatchet Harry’s Axe Throwing

Over the last year Axe Throwing has taken over the UK by storm! If you and your plus one are really up for something outside-the-box then this is definitely it, you’ll get a coach to train you both for a while then it’s axes away as you both see who has the best hand-eye coordination in the relationship. We’ll let you both debate that one too.
