Anniversary Experiences

Anniversary Experiences – Because Love Deserves More Than a Card

Ah, anniversaries. A chance to reflect on the triumphs and tribulations of sharing your life with another human being – and, let’s be honest, an opportunity to outdo last year’s effort. If the thought of another predictable bouquet and a meal at a restaurant where they “curate” the menu fills you with despair, then step away from the clichés and into the world of unforgettable anniversary experiences. Because love, if it's survived this long, deserves something with a bit more edge.

For the Cheese-Obsessed Couple

Cheese Afternoon Tea For Two – A barge, a board of artisanal cheeses, and Prosecco. Wallace and Gromit would approve.
The London Cheese Crawl – A two-hour, non-stop cheese tour that’s equal parts indulgence and education. Aged Cheddar and well-aged love – what a pairing.
Deluxe Cheese & Wine Tasting London – A floating cheese-and-fizz extravaganza in Paddington, where every mouthful is as decadent as your love story.

For the Couple Who Knows Their Bordeaux From Their Beaujolais

Deluxe Wine of The World Experience London – Three bars, three different wine selections, and a stroll fuelled by a love of the grape.
Wine and Fondue – An oozy, melty, French-inspired affair. The fondue Savoyarde in Shoreditch is an Instagram-worthy feast, best enjoyed with someone who won’t judge your cheese addiction.
GoodVines Wine Tasting – No lectures, no snobbery, just six unusual wines, relaxed conversation, and the lingering possibility of ordering an entire case.

For the Couple Who Likes a Dash of Adventure

Frameless: An Immersive Art Experience and 2-Course Lunch – Iconic masterpieces come alive in Marble Arch before you tuck into an exquisite meal. Art and food, the perfect union.
Tour De Forage, Kent – A cycling tour where you gather your own wild garlic, shellfish, and berries before a meal celebrating your edible discoveries.
The Secret East London Fine Dining Experience – Nine courses, a secret location, and a night of culinary magic with a BYO twist.

For the Romantics at Heart

Luxury Under the Stars – Glamping at Oastbrook Vineyard, complete with wine tasting, a guided tour, and the kind of starry sky that makes you wax poetic.
Picnic Cruise on the River in Oxford – A traditional wicker hamper packed with delights, enjoyed while you float serenely down the Thames.
Riverboat Cruise with Afternoon Tea in Oxford – Because scones and clotted cream taste better when served on a boat.

For the Unconventional Duo

Craft Your Dream Ring – Not engaged? Not a problem. Design and create your own silver ring using ancient wax carving techniques.
Bethnal & Bec – Time Out From the Everyday – A countryside retreat where check-out time is optional, the pantry is well-stocked, and your biggest task is to truly relax.
Take a Punt Through Oxford – Glide past university spires in a scene so picture-perfect it could make Shakespeare weep.

Anniversaries should be about experiences, not just gifts. These hand-picked ideas take love beyond the ordinary, offering moments that linger long after the last sip of Champagne. Because when it comes to celebrating love, ordinary just won’t do.

An immersive wine tasting tour in London led by acclaimed historian and broadcaster Dr Matthew Green... WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? A plague pit as a vineyard? Really? This is a tour around medieval London with the delightful Dr Matthew Green, and what he doesn’t know about hermit's cells, punishment rituals, and the exotic multicoloured wine that was the liquid gold of London frankly isn’t worth knowing. In fact this is your moment to immerse yourself in the medieval metropolis, as well as sampling a coconut-shell of frothy medieval rosé, and two glasses of the more modern variety.Expect a few interactions with plague widows, local vintners and religious fanatics along the way, as costumed actors and musicians leap out when you least expect it. This is an immersive experience guaranteed to bring the old city back to life, and an excuse to stagger around the medieval streets of London. An absolute must for anyone with the slightest interest in our bawdy social history. THE ALL IMPORTANT DETAILS All you need bring is a good pair of comfy walking shoes and a thirst for knowledge. Meet in the courtyard outside Guildhall, London, EC2V . The walks are run on Saturdays or Sundays (monthly) from 2:30pm and last two-and-a-half hours, finishing in a gorgeous medieval tavern. Choose whether you want to do this walking solo or invite someone along to share the experience. *** TIME OUT CRITICS’ CHOICE *** – 4/5 stars: “The winning Dr Matthew Green paints a lively picture of Medieval London…There can’t be many walking tours that take the ‘getting you drunk’ bit almost as seriously as the history bit.
