For you and your sole mate
Love is in the air this Valentine’s for just £90 per couple on Thursday 13 and Friday 14 February at Two Rivers Restaurant, The Deep. Enjoy a sumptuous three course meal, a glass of Prosecco on arrival, a single red rose and tea/coffee to finish.
Choose to dine in Endless Ocean, close to the sharks, rays and turtles, or in the more intimate Cool Seas area with the jellyfish..
Take a cruise
Treat a loved one for Valentine’s and view the magnificent city of York from a different perspective. Take advantage of an exclusive online deal and treat your other half to a York City Cruise for Valentine’s this February.
If you book your tickets in advance, you will both receive a glass of prosecco each and a bag of heart shaped chocolates, in addition to a 45 minute river cruise through York.
A stroll round Hardcastle Crags
It's the simple things in life that are the most special, and what could be more lovely than a romantic stroll through a beautiful wooded walk, with nature trails, tumbling streams and cascading waterfalls at Hardcastle Crags?
You can make an easy 4 mile round trip or, if you want to carry on, Gibson Mill is an additional 2.5 miles there and back.
A meal you'll never forget
Yorkshire is blessed with 5 Michelin Starred restaurants, so why not book you and your loved ones into one of these 5 restaurants, sit back and enjoy one of the best meals you'll ever have.

With its sweeping, sheltered bay and charming red roofed cottages, Runswick Bay is one of the Yorkshire Coast's prettiest destinations.
It's the perfect place to head to with your partner in crime and enjoy a spot of rock pooling, fossil hunting, a coastal walk and then top it all of with a trip into Whitby for a spot of fish and chips.
