I need ideas for dates with DH that don't involve food

[desperate4spring]

Hi all.

Due to having small children with a pandemic thrown in, DH and I haven't been out for a meal without the kids since summer 2020. And in the meantime he's gone and developed a stomach ulcer which makes eating difficult for him.

We want to book a couple of days away at the end of Feb but are unsure what to do that doesn't involve eating, bearing in mind the weather is also likely to be rubbish.

Any ideas welcome! Also any suggestions of where to go in the South East!

We did an escape room once together as a kind of date which was fun!

Cinema…

Walk round grand National Trust house/ garden

Walk anywhere without children is a novelty - it isn’t actually raining surprisingly down in SE England.

We went to bath which was lovely they have the spa roof pools lots of museums and things to see

Theatre
Comedy show/stand-up
Escape Room
Museums/Galleries
A spa day
Some kind of sports activity (hiking, cycling, swimming, climbing, sailing, paddle boarding etc)

What do you like doing?

Art gallery.

Museum.

Hiking.

Bowling
Rock climbing

Ten Pin Bowling
Go Ape
Pottery throwing experience
Indoor climbing wall

We've tried to do this too as we've both put on so much weight. For a laugh we've decided that we each suggest something each weekend. So far we've done

Rock climbing
Watched a proper football match
Go karts
10 pin bowling
Taken our dog to a play area
Explored our local area by foot
Volunteered for a charity

It's been good fun, some more than others

Rock climbing.
Bowling.
Couples Spa Day.
Cinema.
Borrow a dog and go for a dog walk somewhere.
Theatre or stand-up.
Trip to the seaside.
Zoo and do a keeper for the day type experience, or an animal feeding.

Most of my ideas are already posted.
Only one left is look for reputable stable and book horse back riding session.

Cinemas
Bowling
Theatre
Boat ride along a river
Clip and climb type place
Beer/wine tour

Sailing lesson
