THIS IS A REALLY distinctive event for a special night that can become a duty rather than a delight.

Love Potions and Food: Chinatown Valentine's Evening Tour, takes in one of the more fascinating urban areas in the United Kingdom. The tour pops in and out of the shops, restaurants and businesses chatting to the locals and discovering unexpected delights.

Come in couples, come as singles, come as a ménage à trois, it doesn't matter because everyone will be entertained and fascinated by our emotional - from the heart - serenade around Chinatown on Lover's Night

As usual on Chinatown tours we sample some of the lovely food available but this Valentine's Evening tour is also for the romantic at heart.

This means we will knock back love potions and elixirs created by the most populous people in the world. It should be fun. It will be strange. 

Come in couples, come as singles, come as a ménage à trois, it doesn't matter because everyone will be entertained and fascinated by our emotional - from the heart - serenade around Chinatown on Lover's Night. 

If you want something different this year for Valentine's this is the option for you. And who knows where those love potions might lead...
