So, if you’re looking for the best Valentine’s Day ideas, check out these suggestions for the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Cambridge.
Try A Valentine’s Day Punting Adventure
Book the most romantic and traditional of Cambridge activities for your beau. That’s right, board a petal-strewn private punting tour and get snugly under cosy blankets as you appreciate the sheer beauty of our city and each other. Our Valentine’s punting tours include a single perfect long-stemmed red rose to really impress your date. We’ve also partnered with Côte Brasserie Cambridge to provide a meal before your punting adventure.
Proposal Punting in Cambridge
This time of year is one of the very best times in the year to pop THE question. If you’re considering taking the leap, then our Proposal Punting Experience is one of the most romantic ways to level up your relationship. For those of you wanting to do so in this uniquely Cambridge style, we organise romantic punting proposals with stunning seasonal flowers hidden as a surprise, ready for when they say ‘YES!’ with all their hearts (because, of course, they will say yes!). You can also book our optional secret photographer to capture the fairytale moment. The photographer will then take celebratory photos and a close-up photoshoot on the punt.
Bespoke Punting Tours
Upgrade your romantic punting experience with our optional extras. Select some sensational macarons and a chilled bottle of sparkling Saffron Grange Rosé, served with our beautiful hand-held glasses. With our various options, you can craft the perfect Valentine’s Day date for you and the one you love. Our team will be happy to discuss anything you need to make this the perfect date night for you and your partner.
Take A Walk And See The Sights
While punting in Cambridge is the best way to see the sights, if you want to get up close and personal with the city’s stunning architecture, then a stroll could be one of the most romantic Valentine’s Day ideas.
Cambridge has many stunning monuments and gardens, including the Botanical Gardens, The Mathematical Bridge, St John’s New Court, King’s College Chapel and The Bridge Of Sighs. You can spend Valentine’s Day exploring your favourite part of the city or finding something new.
Whether you want to walk through the College Backs or traipse across the countryside with your darling one, consider planning a walk through Cambridge on Valentine’s Day before getting delicious food.
Enjoy Romantic Dining Experiences
A dinner date night is the perfect way to enjoy Valentine’s Day, so here are some of the great dining experiences in Cambridge.
Côte Brasserie Cambridge
As part of our romantic Valentine’s Day package, Rutherford’s Punting has teamed up with Côte Brasserie in Cambridge to deliver a meal followed by a romantic punting trip with a rose for your partner. So, if you’re looking for a fun way to spend Valentine’s Day with your favourite person, then this could be the perfect solution.
This glorious French eatery combines modern techniques with classic French cuisine to provide a delicious treat for your taste buds. From Alpine specials to delicate patisserie that will tempt anyone with a sweet tooth, there’s something to tempt even the most discerning gourmand.
Midsummer House
Another venue designed to impress your date this Valentine’s Day, Midsummer House is the perfect destination for a romantic evening. A 2 Michelin Star eatery nestled in the heart of Cambridge, Midsummer House offers haute cuisine, fine dining and an incredible selection of wines.

Plan Your Perfect Valentine’s Day
These are some of the top Valentine’s Day activities you and your partner can enjoy in Cambridge. Remember, some of these activities usually fill up fast, as everyone’s vying to create the perfect experience for the person they love the most in this world.
That’s particularly true of our punting tours. While our shared punting tours sometimes have space, if you’re looking for a private punting tour of Cambridge or want to guarantee a space, then you need to book online.
You can then simply turn up at our Jesus Green Moorings, and our staff will be there to greet you. If you booked any additions to your punting experience, such as a picnic, cream tea or champagne, then we’ll have that ready for you when you arrive for your romantic Cambridge punting tour.
Whatever activities you choose, we hope you have an amazing Valentine’s Day from all of us at Rutherford’s Punting Cambridge!
