Love will most definitely be in the air in Ilford on Valentines Day, with a number of themed activities for both couples and families.

Love, actually, will be held at Valentines Mansion and Gardens, Emerson Road, on Thursday from 11am-5pm offering interactive workshops, live music and arts and crafts.

The special Valentines event will also celebrate the Mansion’s fourth year of opening with a number of activities including a food workshop led by historians Pat and Barbara Elliott, in which they will explore which foods give people that loving feeling.

Learn to foxtrot or jive in a number of dance workshops throughout the day, join the Love Trail or write a special message on the Love Board.
