Bradford: Market Square Tavern

Couples will love this quirky pub with a gorgeous beer garden in Bingley, near Bradford. Cosy up at Market Square Tavern with craft pints, cocktails and hand-stretched pizzas, or give into that competitive side and challenge each other to some games of shuffleboard or pool.

Discounts available on certain events

Is there anything better than stealing your beau's last maki roll? We thought not. Make it up to them with YO!'s awesome range of sushi school events. Learn knife-cutting skills and the history of this Japanese favourite in places such as Bristol, Cheltenham, Cardiff and beyond.

Aberdeen: Palm Court Hotel

Searching for cool things to do for couples in Scotland? Boasting cool quiz nights and live music on the regular, Aberdeen's Palm Hotel Court is a great hotel to check out. Hungry? The venue also showcases non-traditional Scottish food.

If you're strapped for things to do together, hit up one of Brewpoint's many events, starting with its annual beer festival. Showcasing home brews as well as special guest kegs, this event is not to be missed. Expect live music and gourmet food trucks slinging out pizza. If that doesn't float your boat, get your groove on with Barrioke and jump on stage with Eastenders icon Shaun Willamson AKA Barry.

The cosy spot on Beggers Lane is bringing you some serious musical talent, with the likes of Chris Corcoran, Big Joe Lois and Connor Selby Band taking to the state.
