Happy Hearts Day, Kids!

Here are the latest island events to warm your hearts this Valentine’s Day.  And speaking of Valentine’s Day, whose idea was it to schedule Ash Wednesday on the same day this year??  Now I can’t take advantage of the post-V Day chocolate sales, like I usually do!

As always, be sure to check out the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of this post for a full listing of all upcoming Bermuda events, including those previously covered in previous posts.

Looking to do something different this Valentine’s Night?  If so, then Scribbles Art Shack are putting an artsy spin on it at Valentine’s Night with a Twist on Wednesday, February 14th.

Promising a perfect night out on the town, you can surprise your partner, bestie, or family member with a non-traditional Valentine’s Day celebration.

From 6.30pm, you can create artwork with guided instruction from their in-house artists and create your own personalized bath salts.

There are also several add-ons available, including a personalized Caricature created by “Carlos Santana” (high demand request), Cheese and Fruit Platter by Graze & Treats, and Decorate your own (4 pack) Cupcakes.

You are invited to bring your own food and drinks, enjoy the atmosphere within their vibrant space, while creating art for your home while you create memories that last a lifetime.

The cost is $95 per couple, with the add-ons starting from $35.

Morning Kids!

Well, since Love Month starts tomorrow, it’s probably a great time to point out one of the new filter categories on the Calendar View page – Date Night!  Hopefully, this will make it a bit easier to plan out which Bermuda activities and events are best to go to with your special someone, but I’d love your feedback.  The filter categories can be found to the right of the calendar, if viewing on a desktop, or below it if viewing on a mobile device.

As always, be sure to check out the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of this post for a full listing of all upcoming Bermuda events, including those previously covered in previous posts.

Back by popular demand, BUEI Screens invites you to a sixth screening of Viceroy’s House on Thursday, February 1st.

New nations are rarely born in peace… India, 1947: Lord Mountbatten (Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville) is dispatched, along with his wife Edwina (Gillian Anderson), to New Delhi to oversee the country’s transition from British rule to independence. Taking his place in the resplendent mansion known as the Viceroy’s House, Mountbatten arrives hopeful for a peaceful transference of power. But ending centuries of colonial rule in a country divided by deep religious and cultural differences proves no easy undertaking, setting off a seismic struggle that threatens to tear India apart.  This PG-13 rated drama has a running time of 106 minutes.

The film begins at 7.30pm in BUEI’s Tradewinds Auditorium. Harbourfront are offering a 10% discount (food only) to anyone dining there before or after the event.  Reservations are required.  Please mention the lecture when booking to avail of the discount and note that it cannot be combined with any other special offers.
