Every fourteenth of February marks the celebration of St Valentine, now globally known as Valentine’s Day. Since it is widely celebrated as a day of love, we’ve made our top list of wonderful things to do in order to celebrate the day with your loved ones.
1. Have a memorable time at Hotel Chocolat’s Chocolate Experience
While material gifts might fade away, creating wonderful memories with your partner will be treasured forever. On Valentine’s Day, you can join Hotel Chocolat for their Chocolat Experience where attendees will be greeted with a bespoke themed cocktail, before tasting a range of delicious truffles from their Valentine’s Day collection.
