Valentine’s is a Friday night this year, so kiss your loved one on the dance floor while LEXX plays afrobeat, reggaeton, drum n bass, and more. Doors open from 7pm onwards so you can bet it will be a wild night to remember.
This event, Soft Butch, is a celebration of “butchness, for women, NB and Trans people to dance freely together”.
Organisers have also said: “This is a held space for you to come and shake/shuffle/sway freely in all your messy glory.
We know this is Valentine’s day- but this as a celebration of all forms of love including self-love, friends love, chosen family love, and love for our Queer community!” We’re obsessed!
For this event you can secure the best night of your life here.
Birmingham’s Kitty Cafe
Kitty Cafe is a wholesome spot for all cat lovers to enjoy a cake and a coffee in the company of fluffy kitties, letting you and your partner absorb their warmth. Located conveniently in Birmingham’s New Street Station, I can’t think of a better day out with the one you love then with cats.
If you fancy your hands getting scratched by gorgeous cats you can make your fast booking here.
Stirchley’s Cork and Cage
This 100 per cent employee-owned independent bar is one of the best in Stirchley, emphasising its variety of beers and cocktails. Its gorgeous mood lighting is the perfect atmosphere for clinking your glasses in the name of love.
With its weekly changing food menus, this place will always give a fresh experience each time!
‘Live Love Laugh’ comedy show
Located in Rosies, this comedy show will be a great for those that want to be extra this Valentine’s. With classic comedians such as Victor Daniels, Sarah Levine and more, you can let loose and leave the entertainment to the professionals if you’re scared you won’t impress your date.
This hot show will start at 7pm sharp so don’t be late to get your tickets.
Sky Bar & Restaurant
Arguably one of the more iconic spots to profess your love this Valentine’s in Birmingham, if this doesn’t pay for your partner’s love I don’t know what will.
If you’re ready to spend a little extra, a dinner at Sky Bar & Restaurant is perfect, where the view will be almost as dazzling as your date.
The Sky Bar is the hot spot of Birmingham so don’t wait too long to get your tickets here.

By the time you are absolutely smashed just be happy you aren’t gonna be queuing the cold on Valentine’s Day as you’ll already be steaming (and not from the drinks). For a cheap bottomless brunch grab your tickets now!
Birmingham Botanical Gardens
The gardens range over fifteen acres, so if you forgot to buy your date flowers, a romantic stroll in this eden just might make up for it. Not only this, they offer student prices as well at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Scared you’re going to be catfished on Hinge? Make them going on a cheap walk with you instead. You can buy your day ticket to the gardens here.
Jazz with Dave Manington’s Riff Raff
As Louis Armstrong said: “Jazz is played from the heart,” so let this contemporary improvisation of the group make you feel passionate and inspired!
At the cheap price of £15 to go see the most gorgeous Jazz music in Birmingham, this will be an amazing show to impress your date. Did I also say the tickets are only £8.61 for students?
Candles, chocolate, and wine at home
At the end of the day, it’s not about what you do together, but about who you do it with, so buy some candles and plant a kiss on the person you love.
