Both of you can enjoy an incredible array of cocktails and still catch some breathtaking Insta pics.
7. Catch a ferry across the Mersey
Combine your date with unrivalled views of the Mersey River and the city’s skyline while you sip on a selection of refreshments and hot drinks. This cruise provides a fantastic way to take your sightseeing from dry land to sea. The cruise runs all year-round boasting of stunning Liverpool waterfront views. It provides an excellent opportunity to get around Liverpool with the cruise running between three important locations- Seacombe, the Wirral and the iconic Pier Head. You can even break and restart your journey at any of these three terminals to visit its riverside attractions.
8. Walk in the park
While this might not be the first idea that pops up in your mind, sometimes, simple is better. Liverpool is home to some of the most stunning parks in Britain. Sefton Park, for instance, provides a quick and romantic spot for taking in a stunning backdrop as you meander hand in hand along winding paths. You can wander around the glistening lake as you go towards the Palm House, which is particularly prominent at night when the intricately framed glass dome beams up from inside.
9. Sefton Park festivals
Sefton park almost always has a celebration that you can go to as a couple. You can enjoy some free music festival, gut-busting comedy festival or a delicious foodie event with local restaurants coming together to serve some of their most popular dishes. While you will have to share, the experience with another thousand of festival-goers, it will be one that you will leave to remember for years.
10. Share some LOLs
They say the way to your date’s heart is through some quality laughs. This couldn’t be any truer. Have a laugh with your loved one at one of the city’s stand-up comedy venues, including the Comedy Central on the Albert Dock, Hot Water Comedy Club on Seel Street, or Laughter House Comedy on Fenwick Street. Whether it is a first date or an anniversary, there is nothing better than a comedy show date to keep your partner happy and laughing. The Albert Dock, one of the city’s longest standing comedy events provides a truly romantic backdrop for a date.
11. Bongo’s Bingo
Bongo Bingo is not your conventional date night idea, nor is it your regular bingo either. While it’s still unclear whether it is a show, rave or an event, the Bongo Bingo provides an exciting night out. Expect some impromptu dance-offs, and raves. You might even be lucky enough to win a special prize.
12. Couple spa visit
There is nothing more romantic than a trip to a couple’s spa. Step into Morgan’s Spa on 30 James street where you will be met with the sweet-smelling aroma of essential oils and tranquil atmosphere for you to relax.
