Valentine's Day Treats
11 February 2023
The Cornish coast always offers a truly romantic setting, and there are many ways to spoil your loved one on Valentine's Day. We thought we'd share the love with a few of our favourite treat ideas from some great local businesses.
Hire a classic car
Explore Cornwall in style and enjoy the enchanting experience of driving your own charismatic open-top classic car! Perranwell Classic Car Hire is perfectly placed for adventure, halfway between Truro and Falmouth in the quaint village of Perranwell. Choose from a Morgan two or four-seater for classic charm, or channel some James Bond style with the iconic sporty MGB Roadster. Drive in style, enjoy the fresh air and discover miles of stunning Cornish coastline. Perranwell can provide you with different routes, including a four-hour trip around the Fal taking in Tregony, Caerhays, St Mawes, Coverak, and the Lizard and even includes a trip on the King Harry Ferry.

A beautiful gift for someone special
You can't go wrong with a gorgeous candle to create the right mood for love! Whether for a pampering, relaxing candle-lit bath or creating a romantic ambience for dinner, a scented candle from Cream Cornwall will surely impress. Their Reef Candle is a classic, refreshingly clean blend of citrus, jasmine and lavender on a base of musk and wood notes. It's the perfect fragrance to remind you of being near the sea.

Laugh together
Located in the centre of Truro, Hall for Cornwall has a mission to continuously innovate, entertain, excite and connect audiences. This Valentine's, they are hosting the world premiere adaptation of The Lavender Hill Mob, the classic Ealing Comedy. This "top-notch, classic British comedy" (WhatsOnStage) tells the story of Henry Holland, an unassuming bank clerk who dreams of stealing the van full of gold bullion he drives across London each day. When Henry learns that his new lodger makes Eiffel Tower paperweights out of lead, he devises a plan to make his dream a reality. It's a golden opportunity to pull off the crime of the century; they'd have to be fools to mess it up … Starring Miles Jupp and Justin Edwards, this promises to be a feel-good fun night out. A special Valentine's Show and Drink package is available too!
