Alcohol-Free Date Ideas Perfect for Valentines Day

Here’s a sample of the content:
Coffee date

You might not know this but coffee has a dark side – it’s actually the world’s most socially acceptable stimulant. It excites the body and the mind and lifts your mood- so who needs alcohol?

Therefore, a coffee shop may be the best place to enjoy a first date. There’s nowhere to hide, and you simply can’t avoid focussing on your date and sparking that all important conversation.
Picnic in the park

Not all dates have to be in the evening, and a picnic in the park is a lovely way to really get to know someone for the first time or spend some quality one on one time with a partner, avoiding any distractions from phones or TV screens.

What’s even better is you can pack all of your favourite savoury and sweet treats. Instead of wine and cheese, go for a nice elderflower cordial or shared mocktail with an array of indulgent nibbles like crisps and dip or sausage rolls.
