Valentine's Day in Cheltenham 2027: Dinner and Flowers
Valentine's Day 2027 is a Sunday, when most of Cheltenham's tasting menu restaurants close. Where to book on the Saturday, four tables open on the 14th, afternoon tea and florists.
In short: Valentine's Day 2027 is a Sunday, and most of Cheltenham's special-occasion restaurants close on Sundays, so book Saturday 13 February. Lumiere (six courses, £130 on its sample menu) is the big night out; The Ivy Montpellier Brasserie and Primavera Ristorante are open on the Sunday itself. Most florists close on Sundays too, so order flowers for the Friday or Saturday.
Valentine's Day in Cheltenham falls on Sunday 14 February 2027. This guide sorts the town's best tables by the night they are open, adds an afternoon tea and three florists, and gives each one's booking rules. Prices and opening days were checked on each venue's own website on 30 October 2026. None had published a Valentine's 2027 menu yet; we will add them when they appear in January.
