1. Go out for a fancy dinner
L'Escargot Sur Mer If you are going to take your signifi cant other out for an amazing meal then you need a restaurant that packs a punch. L'Escargot Sur Mer in Aldeburgh does just that. A sister restaurant of the famous L’Escargot in Soho which has a enviable history and was described as "This isn’t just a French restaurant, it’s a Soho institution" by Jay Rayner. The Aldeburgh restaurant has a simple and understated interior which combines perfectly with the great staff and excellent atmosphere. The menu is short and sweet, currently with fi ve starters, four mains and three puddings, and is added to by the daily specials. However, each one of the choices on the menu are stars in their own right making a small menu diffi cult to select from as you want to order one of everything. As you would expect, snails are always on the menu, as is the exceptional baked lobster with garlic butter. This restaurant is not to be missed.

Dates don’t have to be extravagant: sometimes simple is best. Pack up a picnic of all your favourite foods and whisk your partner off for a romantic brunch, lunch or dinner in a location that means a lot to you both for some quality time chatting together.
7. Go to a gig
For thrill-seekers and the young at heart, you can’t beat a day doing loop- the-loops on rollercoasters, getting competitive on the dodgems and indulging in some candy fl oss with your love. For extra brownie points, winning a teddy bear at the amusements is a must!

5. Stroll round a garden or park
If you’re both music-lovers, you’ll defi nitely enjoy a night singing along and rocking out to some live music together. There are plenty of al fresco concerts and mini festivals happening this summer, or you could support your local pub by visiting when they next have a band or singer on.
8. Pretend you’re on holiday
It might be right on our doorstep, but when’s the last time you treated yourselves to a day spent at one of our many beautiful beaches? Soak up the sun, have a splash in the sea and top it all off with a fi sh and chip supper – followed by ice cream, of course!
We’re spoilt for choice for grand gardens and picturesque parks. Make your partner feel like royalty for the day by taking them for a wander round Sandringham Royal Park, which has over 60 acres of formal gardens to explore. A traditional afternoon tea in the restaurant afterwards will make it even more special.
