Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean big-city crowds or last-minute supermarket gifts. In Clevedon, romance is found in the small details — independent shops, thoughtfully made gifts, and meals cooked with care. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, a friend, or treating yourself, there’s something special about keeping it local.
Start with a stroll (and a little inspiration)
Few places set the scene quite like Clevedon. A walk along the seafront or across the iconic pier is the perfect way to slow down and enjoy the moment together. Hand in hand, wrapped up against the sea breeze, it’s a reminder that the best Valentine’s plans don’t need to be complicated.
Say it with flowers (from a local florist)
Flowers are a Valentine’s classic for a reason, and Clevedon’s local florists take them to another level. Independent flower shops offer carefully arranged bouquets, seasonal blooms, and a level of personal service you just can’t get from a chain store.
Shopping locally means you can ask for something bespoke — favourite colours, specific flowers, or even a small arrangement just because. It’s more thoughtful, more sustainable, and far more meaningful.
Posies on Alexandra Road is the perfect choose for those beautiful blooms.
Something sweet, but better
Skip the mass-produced boxes and seek out locally made treats instead. Clevedon is home to brilliant independent businesses who put real craft into what they make. Handmade chocolates make perfect Valentine’s gifts — especially when you know they’ve been made just down the road.
You won’t be disappointed by anything you purchase from Indulgence, on Hill Road.
Or if you fancy making them yourself why not book in to a chocolate making workshop?
The Chocolate Tart is run by classically trained local chef and chocolatier Lisa Clarke, who has been unravelling the mystery of the chocolatier in a workshop setting since 2007. Book on your own for a spoiling, creative and delicious escape from reality, or book as a group. Perfect to make a memory and take home everything that you make, beautifully packaged. Dates are listed on the website, and you are encouraged to request dates (Mon-Sat) if the advertised dates don’t suit your diary. Vouchers and handmade chocolates (local collection or postal options) can be purchased via the website.
Thoughtful gifts you won’t find anywhere else
Independent shops are where Clevedon really shines. From jewellery and homeware to books, cards, and small luxury items, shopping locally means finding gifts that feel personal. Your Valentine’s present can be genuinely one-of-a-kind. It’s a lovely way to show care not only for your loved one, but for the community around you too.
Try Gems, Soft Day Stores, Present Company, Wilfred and Alice, or Rossiter & Sons, to name a few. For a full list of shops visit our website
Book a table and make a night of it
Clevedon’s independent restaurants and pubs are perfect for a relaxed Valentine’s meal. Whether it’s a cosy dinner for two, a long lunch, or a casual evening sharing plates, eating locally supports passionate chefs and family-run businesses who put heart into what they do. Many offer seasonal menus, local ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes the evening feel special without being formal.

Catch a film at the Curzon
For a truly Clevedon Valentine’s experience, an evening at the Curzon Cinema is hard to beat. One of the town’s most loved landmarks, the Curzon offers a cosy, nostalgic setting that feels worlds away from a standard multiplex.
Wuthering Heights is the perfect treat for for Galentine’s or Valentine’s.
Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are here to sweep you away in a scorching hot twisted tale. Taking on the roles of Heathcliff and Cathy in Emerald Fennell’s (Saltburn) reimagining of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. It’s a timeless story of destructive, passionate, and obsessive love and one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year.
“He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
Screening from Friday 13th Feb 7.30pm
Plus there will be Valentine’s Day cocktails on the 14th in the Oak Room bar.
