February Editor's Picks
Congratulations, you made it through the first month of the year. Dry January is done, the diet is over and your tipple of choice is back chilling in the fridge. There’s lots to love about February: the anticipation of the inevitable ‘snow day’, rhubarb (it’s a thing) and of course, Valentine’s Day. Grab your partner/best friend and head out.
FESTIVAL OF FOOD, DRINK & RHUBARB
Saturday 22nd – Sunday 24th February 2019
Little known fact: Wakefield is part of The Rhubarb Triangle, a not-so-mysterious region in Yorkshire that yields some of the finest forced rhubarb in all the land. At this foodie festival, dedicated to its prized pink vegetable, you’ll be able to peruse plenty of rhubarb-themed products. Shop artisan breads, cakes, cheeses and wine, then learn how to cook it yourself just like grandma used to. Great British chefs will be on hand, serving up tips straight out of some of the UK’s best kitchens.
SALCOMBE GIN SCHOOL
Ah, Salcombe! Is there anywhere more perfect to spend a romantic weekend away? We think not. Check you and your favourite into Salcombe Gin School, where you can swoon over the Instagram-worthy views while concocting your very own gin recipe. Learn the art of the distillation process with a tipple or two in hand. At the end, your personalised gin will be bottled and boxed for you to take home. A Valentine’s Day gift like no other.
MOVIE NIGHTS AT THE MUSEUM
Saturday 22nd – Sunday 24th February 2019
Dinosaur lovers unite. The National History Museum is once again throwing its doors open after hours to screen six films in partnership with The Luna Cinema. Settle down under Hope, a 25-metre blue whale skeleton, and get ready to go all gooey eyed over classics such as Pretty Woman, Love Actually and The Notebook. Alternatively, if you’re looking to escape the schmaltzy stuff, they’ll be anti-Valentine’s Day screenings too. The best bit: popcorn comes free. Definitely
