For those who don’t have a Valentine this year, do not fret, there are plenty of things to do around Exeter to celebrate love. One of my friendship traditions is to have a dinner with my girlfriends, where we make our favourite dishes from a roast dinner to cupcakes. We all come together and share our love, which usually encompasses a lot of wine, gossip and indulging in plenty of sweet treats.
Spending quality time with my friends is my preferred way to share my love with them. From philosophical chats about Locke and Machiavelli over drinks until 2 AM, to doing chores with each other. Your Palentine’s doesn’t need to be anything grand, just having a chat in good company can go a long way!
Of course, for those who love to go big or go home, you can always have a friends’ night out, with Valentine’s being on a Saturday this year. You could complete a pub crawl around Exeter and end the night at Timepiece or Fever, dancing the evening away.
As someone who is quite creative, I often enjoy something crafty with my friends, and what a perfect time to do a fun arts and crafts than Valentine’s! You could create whimsical prize badges or share your affection by scrapbooking your cherished memories at Exeter.
Along with visiting independents around the city on Fore Street and on Gandy Street, there’s a plethora of shops to treat yourself to. And how could we forget the new releases of “Wuthering Heights” and Marty Supreme? You can have an enjoyable evening with your dearest companions and relish their presence for a truly heartwarming Valentine’s Day!
