Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and with it falling on a Friday this year, many places are booking up quickly. There are plenty of romantic date opportunities in the city, so here are a few of our favourite places to visit around Birmingham to help you design the perfect Valentine’s Date.

We’ve also created an exclusive Itihaas Valentine’s Day menu, stacked with luxurious dishes for you and your other half.

Stroll the Canals

Walk up an appetite along many of Birmingham’s peaceful canals and enjoy one of the most biodiverse areas in our city centre. The canals bring wildlife, boating and history together, with Victorian architecture and plenty of cafes and bars to enjoy along the way. You will soon be ready for a delicious Indian feast at Itihaas Indian Restaurant.

Ikon Gallery

Ikon is an independent art gallery in Brindley Place, in Birmingham’s city centre. Their current exhibition until 23rd February 2025 collects works by over twenty artists from the British Council Collection and macLYON, exploring themes of friendship and love. With film, sculpture and interactive installations, this exhibition is perfect for contemplating the value of strong relationships.

Golf Fang

The epitome of fun date ideas: Golf Fang is mini-golf all grown up. Head to Digbeth to take in the vibrant graffiti artwork, listen to a live DJ and play a truly unique take on 18-hole mini golf. Nothing gets the romance flowing like some healthy competition. Work on your swing, win your partner a prize at the arcade, and head to dinner.
