Valentine's events in London
‘Love & Friendship’: A Galentine’s Screening
See a shadier side to Jane Austen with director Whit Stillman’s witty adaptation of her novel ‘Lady Susan’. Stay for the post-screening raffle for period charity Red Box Project and dance it out on the rainbow-coloured Galentine’s dancefloor. Find out more here.
Eat Your Heart Out
Get ready to party like February 14 never happened. Eat Your Heart Out is no average night on the tiles, it’s a chaotic anti-Valentine’s riot held below ground level at Underbar on Leake Street. From immersive entertainment to cabaret shows and DJ sets from Metronomy’s Anna Prior, it’s going to be a winner. Oh and there’s a pretty kitsch dress code too, so prepare to look as sickening as possible. Find out more here.
