Things To Do This Valentine’s Day

Movie Night In

Having a movie night on Valentine’s Day is the perfect lowkey way to celebrate the occasion. Choose your favourite film, pop the popcorn and most importantly, stock up on some Dale Farm ice cream and you’re set for a snuggle on the sofa. Make it extra moody by dimming the lights, lighting some candles and gathering up blankets to create a cosy haven.
