Trentham Gardens
Stoke might not be renowned for its beautiful landscapes and luxurious woodlands, but Trentham Gardens is an absolute diamond in the rough! Set within 300 acres of pure loveliness, you’ll find shops, restaurants, cafes, pristine gardens, boat rides, romantic lakeside paths and secret woodland trails to keep you busy. Plus, enjoy Britain’s first and only Monkey Forest! Home to 140 free-roaming Barbary macaques, this unique attraction will leave you feeling warm and cuddly inside... Awww!
Bars & Restaurants
Whether it’s a casual lunch date, a quick drink or a romantic evening
meal, there is quite simply, something for everyone. Top of our picks is the
recently refurbished Orange Tree Bar & Grill
on Newcastle Road. Housed in a Georgian listed building with a contemporary glass
extension to the side, they serve high-quality cuisine at very reasonable prices.
From juicy steaks and delicious seafood, to mouth-watering desserts, you’re
guaranteed a meal to remember in a relaxed and friendly environment… plus, the
cocktails are AMAZING!For something in the city centre, it has to be The Exchange in Hanley. Formerly Fat Cats Bar, this unique venue houses a bar and restaurant upstairs, a vintage shop in the reception and a music venue in the basement! Serving the best drinks, cocktails and food, plus special gigs and club nights, The Exchange has it all.
Culture
Situated roughly halfway between Birmingham and Manchester, you could be forgiven for overlooking the cultural offerings of Stoke-on-Trent… until now! With a rich and diverse history, we love the local museums, galleries and theatres because they make bloomin' fantastic dates!
Wander around the Staffordshire Hoard at The Potteries Museum and you’ll never be stuck for conversation or have those awkward silences. Enjoy a world-class production at The Regent Theatre - one of the biggest in the UK and with the best touring shows direct from the West End. Or try your hand at throwing a pot with Gladstone Pottery Museum… we swear, it’ll be just like that scene from Ghost!
Alton Towers
Though technically not in Stoke-on-Trent itself, Alton Towers is still classed as a local attraction and deserves a special mention because it’s one of our faves! For those who don’t know – and there’s not that many – Alton Towers is the UK’s biggest and best theme park. With something for everyone, from adventurous thrill-seekers to those with slightly more delicate stomachs, it’s a dating paradise! Get your hearts pumping with the ultimate thrill rides and rollercoasters or sit back and enjoy a live show, romantic sky ride or a spin on the teacups! The resort also has a brilliantly themed hotel and water park if you want to make a weekend of it and splash out…
So, forget what you think you know about Stoke-on-Trent. Find a date with Flirtify and get exploring!>>
