Valentine s Day will definitely be different this year, but there are still ways to make it special.
Whether you are celebrating with your partner or want an excuse to catch-up with friends or flatmates, Femail has found the very best UK-based activities for you to try from the comfort of your home.
They range from a scrumptious afternoon tea from a five-star London hotel to a virtual disco yoga class where sequins and spandex are encouraged. There is also a session with a self-proclaimed witch, a dance class with Strictly s Aljaz and Janette, and even a romantic dinner set inspired by Daphne Bridgerton.
My boyfriend Alex and I have been dating for almost two years. Very suddenly we found ourselves thousands of miles apart, quarantining with our respective families and faced with a 3-hour time difference for five months.
I m grateful he was willing to stay up late, and I too adjusted my sleep schedule to make time to talk. The unplanned time apart showed us our relationship goes beyond physical affection, as we still enjoyed each other s (virtual) presence with nightly FaceTime calls and Netflix dates.
In July, we reunited and began quarantining together. Being together at all times had its own new, unique challenges. We found ourselves trying to balance the need to stay safe and desire to be physically in the same location with our inclinations that we shouldn t rush the pace of our relationship. We also had to figure out how to be each other s sole companion and still focus on our own self-care needs.

Which TV series and movies to watch?
Regardless of whether or not you’re huddled on the sofa together, Valentine’s at home wouldn’t be right without a good old rom-com or dating show.
Netflix’s Party service is perfect for streaming something together if you’re apart on Sunday. Just give them a quick FaceTime and it’s basically the same thing, right?
Messenger also offers the option to watch a number of Facebook Watch original shows through the video calling platform, with shows such as Virtual Dating, Make Up or Break Up and Help Us Get Married all available to watch in group settings.
