đź’• ROMANTIC EVENING IN BRADFORD 

Start your evening with a gentle walk around City Park. The shimmering fountains, open space, and soft lighting create a peaceful setting to unwind together. Suggestion: Grab a warm drink from Tiffin Coffee or Café W to sip hand-in-hand as you stroll past the mirror pool and watch the sunset reflect off the historic buildings.


18:00 – WHERE TO WINE & DINE

Choose a dinner spot that sets the mood:

Restaurant 1914 at the Alhambra Theatre offers elegant pre-show dining with skyline views and a seasonal menu

Cona offers refined flavours and sleek interiors for a modern romantic vibe

Zizzi brings Italian warmth with candlelit tables and rustic charm

Mamma Mia is cosy and welcoming, perfect for heartfelt conversation

La Caverna feels like a hidden retreat, with stone walls and soft lighting that evoke rustic romance

Suggestion: Ask for a quiet corner or window seat to make the moment feel more personal.


19:30 – CHOOSE YOUR EVENING ENTERTAINMENT

Step into the grandeur of the Alhambra Theatre, where Edwardian chandeliers and velvet seats set the scene for a magical night. Or head to Bradford Live for a shared laugh or musical thrill.
