February is often the coldest month in England, but with snowdrops and daffodils to give us all hope for spring and half term, pancakes and Valentine’s Day to warm our hearts! Here’s what’s on in Oxted this month…
Valentine’s in Oxted
If you’re planning your Valentine’s, Galentine’s and whatever other form it takes for you, make sure you show the love for Oxted and its independent businesses.
Whether it’s a gift, flowers, chocolates, romantic dinner, drinks with the girls, a cinema date, or a grand gesture (like an engagement ring maybe??!!), make sure your local Oxted businesses feel the love and benefit too – so shop, drink and eat local. How about….
