Valentine's Day in Coventry

Posted

Wednesday 4 February

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you might be wondering how to make it a memorable and romantic occasion for you and your partner.

Plan your perfect Valentine's day

Planning the perfect Valentine’s date can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. If you are looking for a way to celebrate in Coventry that brings together culture, entertainment, and great food in one spot, Warwick Arts Centre is your answer.

Whether it’s a memorable occasion for you and your partner or just a fun night out with friends, we have curated a programme that celebrates creativity across genres.

Here are four ways to make this Valentine’s Day one to remember.

1. Take a Chance at the Cinema

Movies are classic date night staple, but this year, we are offering two very different experiences.

If you are feeling brave, why not try our Mystery Valentine’s Film screening? You won’t know what you’re watching until the lights go out. It is the ultimate blind date with cinema. Trust our programming team to pick a winner, and you will even take home a film poster as a keepsake.

For those who prefer their romance with a side of Gothic drama, the brand-new adaptation of Wuthering Heights is showing all week. Starring Oscar nominees Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, this is a visually stunning and modern take on Emily Brontë’s epic tale.

2. Experience the Thrill of Live Performance

Nothing beats the shared energy of a live show. This Valentine’s week, we are hosting an eclectic mix of talent, perfect for breaking the ice or sparking a conversation.

For music lovers looking for an evening full of nostalgia, there’s no better show than The Classic Rock Show – World Tour 2026. It is a high-energy tribute to the guitar heroes and classic bands of the past 30 years, including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Fleetwood Mac. Expect big riffs and even bigger anthems!

If laughter is the way to your heart, join Taskmaster favourite Desiree Burch for her new show The Golden Wrath. It is a hilarious, unfiltered look at the chaos of mid-life that will have you both in stitches.

For a date night that feels more like a cultural deep-dive, Nine Sixteenths by Paula Varjack blends dance and theatre to explore pop culture nostalgia and representation.

3. Spark Conversation with Art

Before your show starts, why not wander through the Mead Gallery?

Our current exhibition Takuro Kuwata: Tea Bowl Punk is completely free to enter. It showcases bold ceramic works that challenge tradition through vivid colour, explosive texture, and form. It is a playful and striking visual experience that is sure to give you plenty to talk about over drinks later.

4. Make a Day of It

We have fantastic dining options right here to round off your evening.

For a relaxed vibe, head to Benugo Bar & Kitchen. It is the ideal spot to unwind with a glass of wine and seasonal dishes, giving you the time and space to reconnect.

Alternatively, if you want a fun, high-energy meal, Panda Mami offers a global buffet with live cooking stations. This is perfect if you and your date can never agree on just one cuisine.

Don’t leave your plans to the last minute. Secure your seats now for a night of culture, comedy, and great food, and make this Valentine’s Day your best one yet!
