Winter date night ideas for over-50s

1: Head to the escape rooms

Fancy getting out of the house on date night? Going to the nearest escape rooms promises an evening of unexpected delights. You’ll need to work together to progress from one level to the next, so it’s certainly worth considering if you want to rekindle your sense of team spirit.

Each challenge faced in an escape room is unique, but they all offer an opportunity to work on your communication, creativity, and sense of adventure. It’s affordable too, and you won’t need to worry about waking up with a sore head in the morning either!

2: Stage a games night

You don’t need to invite the crowds to host a successful games night.

Even when it’s just the two of you, you can get stuck in either online or with board games – all from the comfort of your own home. If you’re feeling lucky, interactive games like Deal or No Deal bingo make it easier than ever to chase thrills on date night.

You can take it in turns to be in with a chance of winning great prizes – or stick to something more traditional like Truth or Dare if you prefer.

3: Try the arcade

If you live near the seaside or even in a suburban town, heading to the arcade could be a wonderful way to pass the time. From the ‘penny pushers’ to classic pinball, there are so many interactive games in an arcade that not only encourage entertainment but an opportunity to work as a team, too.

Cheer each other on as you try for prizes and win tokens to spend on other games. Grab a few drinks from the bar and spend the afternoon or evening giggling away like teenagers again. Just remember to play responsibly if you’re placing bets.

4. Get green-fingered

Ready to try something new in the great outdoors? If you’re up for getting your hands dirty, gardening could be a wonderful way both to bond with your partner and learn some new transferrable skills too.

You could start working on your own garden, do some charitable work in local green spaces, or browse courses and workshops with the Royal Horticultural Society to choose something you can both look forward to.

5. Draw your ‘love map’

Lastly, in any relationship, the places you visit tell the story of the time you’ve spent together. Whether you return to your favourite spots or explore a new destination entirely, the process of drawing your ‘love map’ is one that helps any couple feel closer.

Part of creating your map involves understanding your partner’s deepest values and opinions. When you revisit your partner’s favourite things, sense of pride, or even hopes and dreams, you can rejuvenate your love.
