Valentine’s Day Adelaide 2025: Cupid-Approved Date Ideas

Are you into big romantic gestures or do you prefer cosy and casual dates? The beauty of Valentine’s Day is you can make it as cheesy or as chill as you like – from candlelit dinners in dark corners of restaurants or a day sprawled out in the sunshine, to pulling the curtains shut and nestling down with a bowl of popcorn for a Harry Potter marathon (if that’s your cup of tea).

If you want to spoil your S.O this year, we’ve rounded up our choice of events to really feel the love this Valentine’s Day in Adelaide, perfect for a day out with your partner (or your gals), a fun date night with a new fling, or by yourself as an act of self-love. Here’s to love!
