So the great British Summertime has finally decided to show its face \u2013 the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the last thing you want to be doing on a date is being sat indoors eating at a restaurant or stuck in the pitch black cinema complete with air conditioning\u2026so what do you do?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Outdoor Film in the park or a drive thru movie<\/strong>: Many cities have film showings in public parks, or if you fancy a more retro date night see if there\u2019s a drive in local to you (even better if you own or can borrow a soft top)\u00a0www.thelunacinema.com<\/a>\u00a0www.route66driveincinemas.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Picnic in the park<\/strong>: All you need is a sunny day and a picnic basket. If you\u2019re trying to impress we would suggest you aim more for chilled Prosecco and strawberries, with home-made finger food than \u201ctwo packet sandwiches and a bottle of coke shoved in a Tesco carrier bag\u201d!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Pick your own fruit farm \/ visit a farmers market<\/strong>:\u00a0 This one is great for both foodies and those who are more eco minded, as visiting a local farmers market means you can be sure that what you\u2019re eating hasn\u2019t come from a big factory farm. Spend the day picking strawberries, raspberries (whatever takes your fancy) together, have a look at what other ingredients are on offer and then take them all home and cook yourselves dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. The Zoo<\/strong>: Who doesn\u2019t love the zoo? You can bond over your love of cute animals, bask in the sunshine together and because there\u2019s so much to see and do you won\u2019t run out of things to talk about. Plan ahead and check their website before you go, see if you can catch any feeding times or displays \u2013 or even better still if you want to make the date super memorable why not see if you can book to feed a tiger, or for the more faint hearted a giraffe? Make it memorable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Go for a bike ride<\/strong>: This one ticks a lot of boxes (sunshine, exercise, endorphins flowing) but it\u2019s not suitable for everyone \u2013 first and foremost check your date can ride a bike, and enjoys riding a bike (if not perhaps choose another option?) Then it\u2019s time to plan your route \u2013 try and keep it rural if possible, and make sure to schedule plenty of pub stops for resting, eating and getting to know one another \u2013 but of course be sensible on the drinking front, a couple is fine but don\u2019t drink and ride!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The sunshine isn’t going to be around forever \u2013 this is the UK after all \u2013 so make the most of it whilst you can. It\u2019s also worth bearing in mind that getting some sunshine not only gives you a vitamin D boost\u00a0 – it\u2019s also scientifically shown to increase libido, which is a winning date combination!<\/p>\n
